Hoping to head out to the Switzerland next year and was wondering if they had an equivalent website to Bleau.info, if not does anyone know the best online resourses for info on Swiss bouldering, cheers

There is kind of, http://www.blocheart.de/bouldern_E/EU/CH/ and http://www.bimano.ch/home.

http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/Europe/Switzerland/ is good for an overview.

Does anyone know the best place to go (in Swizzy) when it's wet weather? I'd been hoping to go to Magic Woods this week but its pissing it down.

Maybe Motel but it is proper gash and makes Liverpool's bouldering venues look world class

Cheers Andy i will check them out later. What is the texture of the rock? im wondering how many days in a row you can pull hard before you loose all your skin, this is the deciding factor between switzerland and font.

[Richie Crouch]

It's a fine grained gneiss I think? Don't think it is granite? Very solid on the whole. You could easily climb for a week every day without going through tips - I think I managed 11 days in a row at magic but in Font I go through tips in about 3. It's a bit subjective, just choose the right problems

The only properly sharp problems I recall were Piranja and Hohenrausch and even they aren't too bad (although we didn't get on the Pura Vida block).

Motel is without doubt the worst piece of shit I've ever had the misfortune to visit.

Cheers Richie, looks like that's the decision made. 30 days in swizzy . Which spring month would you recommend

Worse than Jesmond Dean and the Stirrup Stones?
