Yeh big isn't it, I'm glad we hadn't been looking at it from that angle on prior days...I might have been spooked.

The big overhang on the wall that you see (mid-face, left of the peak) is where the Larcher, Oviglia & someone else famous (sorry mate) bolted a multi-pitch line ground up: I think Larcher sent it last year @ 8b+ and 7c obl. We took a peek and its an awesome bit of bolting & climbing, there's potential for multi pitch 9's in the area.

Off to the right you can also see Regno di Cieli, somewhat less gentrified than Verdon.

In general we were both stoked by the lack of bolting of the surrounding walls, done well it'll easily rival Verdon.

Had a nice touristy day in Lauterbrunnen today, decided a revisit of the Engelhorn is in order during coming months and a run up some of Christian & Regis's new multi routes in Grimsel.

This weekend we're headed for Pinerolo for 4 days, something new for me.
