Title: Fuxenstein (Switzerland) Bouldering
Post by: Monkeyboy on October 01, 2017, 10:36:13 am

I want to stop by to try this old skool Fred classic on my way to Austria at the end of October. Anyone know anything about the area, whether it will be in nick etc?

Cheers

I'll text you a pic of what the Swiss bloc guide says about it. It's a bit vague though.

the area is that one block, by the side of a quiet road.
it's surrounded by trees on three sides , not very windy. so weather wise stays a bit humid after rain.
holds are nicely polished edges, though too small for me

afraid i can't be too precise.
i guess it depends on the wind.. and how much rain.
i assume baguerra's start stays dry quite long as it is 20/25 degrees overhanging

don't live there, but climbed there five or six times (have friends that live close by).
