Switzerland Extrem Jura - Sport and multi pitch climbing guidebook

The Jura has many times been the scene of significant ascents in climbing history. So it was in 1986 when Antoine Le Menestrel climbed “Ravage” (8b+/c), then the hardest climb in the world, at Chuenisberg near Basel. Seven years later, Fred Nicole took it up a notch higher with “Bain de Sang” (9a) in St. Loup. After this early euphoria, the Jura walls went through a quiet period. The high end top climbers moved on. The fabulous woods and rocks remained. Besides the hard classics, the guidebook offers plenty of options for the average climber. A great variety of well protected routes ranging from 6a to 8a in perfect Jura limestone await you.
