Ritter der Kokosnuß

ZOOM ++

M12, WI5, 165m up the impressive Breitwangflue above the Swiss village of Kandersteg, established after numerous attempts spread out over the years, always ground-up and without bolts, protected with ice screws, pegs and nuts and friends. These are the main characteristics of the new route, freed on 13 February 2013 by German alpinist Robert Jasper together with Rainer Treppte next to the famous Flying Circus. A route which, apart from its technical difficulties, seems to offer a great psychological challenge.
