“Letzte Ausfahrt Titlis”

Climbing on rock and ice (), Jochen Schmoll (Deutschland/Germany) 17 min

The eastern face of the Titlis is not an exotic climbing goal. It is an 800 m vertical face of the 3040 m high Titlis in the centre of Switzerland. The first 500 metres consist of continuous vertical and even overhanging rock. Stefan Glowacz plans the first ascent. In June 2004, after two failed attempts because of bad weather, finally all conditions are perfect. After two days of most difficult climbing, Glowacz and his team reach the forSummit of the Titlis. Then Glowacz and his partner “take” the “Last Exit Titlis” consisting of a total of 13 pitches, reaching difficulties up to grade 10!
