Access
- Park in Magland, near the kiosk located about 100 m to the left of the fire station. Walk behind the apartment buildings’ garages, enter the old quarry, and climb the slope until you reach an old trail leading up to the right. The trail makes two turns and then splits into two; continue along the right-hand branch, which runs horizontally, until you are slightly to the left of the base of the rock face; continue uphill through trees and small scree slopes until you reach fixed ropes leading up to the right. Climb up steep, dangerous grassy slopes following these old ropes—which are in very poor condition—first ascending to the left and then to the right just before the base of the wall; continue following the ropes at the base of the wall to the right; you’ll reach the start of a route; continue horizontally to the right along another rope; climb up a steep ledge by pulling yourself up on a knotted rope, then traverse further to the right until you reach the starting belay station.
