climbingRegionalNews SwitzerlandVideos

The Austrian top athlete Alex Luger climbed the multi-pitch tour “The Gift” on the Drusenfluh in Rätikon in 2015. The video of the inspection is now online.

The route "The Gift" extends over 7 rope lengths and 350 meters of climbing. Crux of the route is an 8c length that is very boulder-heavy. As Alex reports in the video, after the successful ascent of the 8c length, he had to continue climbing with full focus, as there was still an 8b and a 7c length
