as the Eiger, Beitschhorn and Wetterhorn as well as on many less well-known
summits. There is something for everyone be they alpine novice, experienced
alpinist or a leading edge exponent. The area itself is surrounded by many
crags on which sports climbing has been developed alongside traditional rock
routes on both granite and limestone. Over 200 routes are described in places
such as the Grimsel Pass, Leysin, Engelhorner, Salbitschijen and Argentine.
