New (?) problem at the Trailside Boulders, The Tramway, Palm Springs.

Going up along the crack of "The Corner".

Pitches 4 and 5, as well as 7 and 8 can be linked. 8 is kind of open end. In pitch three, look for the two two finger pockets.

Lead climbing the third pitch of Incredibile 5c+ (5.9). Awesome granite.

Not only is Snake Dike an awesome climb, it also has the most beautiful scenery. And approach. And deproach.

Bockmattli main walls.

Scenery from the foot of the Bockmattli walls. Who wouldn't like to jump into the Wägitaler lake after a beautiful day of climbing in the hot sun?

The Nameless Tower of Bockmattli and its 2 routes, the Nameless Edge (Namenlose Kante) and the Caveway (Höhlenweg). Locations of the routes at my best knowledge (climbed them both), but without any guaranty.

Salbitschijen on the left, Gemsplanggenstock and Gemsplanggen on the right.

A must climb.

Reaching long on "Grant's Christmas Present".

Warming up.

Do monkeys hook?

Nice problem, just if it wasn't that high...

This is a classic, you have to try it once in your live.

Short, but fun.

I just love to hook.

Unfortunately there is no reference in the picture, but the right crack is little wider than my arm.
