About Eldorado (Grimsel Pass)

The south-facing 500m-thick granite slab wall on the southern shore of Grimselsee — one of the great multi-pitch venues in the Alps. Motörhead (Claude and Yves Rémy, 1983) traces a striking 14-pitch line of laybacks, rounded cracks, smeary slabs and short bolted intersections up the wall, and is the most frequently climbed route in Eldorado. Approach starts at Grimsel Hospiz, crosses the dam, passes through a long tunnel and traverses above the lake shore. Sharing the Handegg weather station (same S-facing Aar-massif slabs, ~5km away and ~500m higher). Cracks are rounded and flaring — bring a full trad rack even though belays are bolted.
