Descrizione

Access · 700 m of D+

Interlaken - Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen - Kleine Scheidegg - Eigergletscher, by train.

From Eigergletscher station, descend 140 m along the moraine ridge then follow a path to point 2098 m (crossing the torrent). Then climb up through the rocks (faint path, cairns), a few passages require using the hands. The approach to the hut is a little more broken.

Ascent · 6h-8h

From Güggihütte, traverse almost horizontally to the left (north-east) then climb back up the slope that leads to the Mönchplateau by zigzagging path traces marked by cairns.

From the Mönchplateau (3112 m), follow due east the broad snowy ridge (scree at the end of the season) which steepens progressively, then head south-east towards the foot of the Nollen (3400 m).

The Nollen passage is a steep ice climb (65°, max 70°) for about 40 metres. Depending on conditions, the less steep sections (45°-55°) before and after the Nollen may require extending the protection over more than one pitch (max. 3 pitches of 40 m).

On leaving the Nollen, traverse a small plateau towards the west face of the Mönch. Cross the bergschrund at around 3740 m then climb the face, either heading east to emerge directly below the summit (4107 m), or along the left bank on the edge of the rocks to then follow the south-west ridge to the summit (beware of the cornice on the south-east side). The climb up the face is sustained on an average slope of 48° over 300 m.

Descent · 1h30 from the summit to the plateau at 3600 m, 2h to the Sphinx

By the east then south ridge (PD). The summit ridge is snowy and very airy. Follow it flat towards the east. At the junction of the north-east and south-east ridges, descend south-east on a steep slope that leads to a first rocky downclimb (good holds). Then the ridge alternates between snowy or rocky sections, with easy downclimbing, moderately airy.

Materiale

- Rope (50 m)

- Ice screws (6 to 8), quickdraws (6x), slings, Abalakov hook

Note

  • Most of the route takes place between 3000 m and 4000 m, on the north-west face of the Mönch.
  • Early in the season, beware of afternoon avalanches in the slope below the hut. The sun hits from 12h in summer.
  • Elevation gain of about 1300 m. The difficulties are concentrated at the Nollen (steep ice climbing 65° over at least 40 m) and in the face (45°-50° over 300 m in variable conditions). The conditions on the Nollen can vary from year to year (snow cover, quality of the ice)
  • Given the effort expended on the Nollen, the face section should not be neglected and is a difficulty in its own right: once the Nollen is passed, it is not all over, and if you have to turn back, it is by the Nollen (downclimbing, Abalakovs, abseils).
