Kleines Kamel: the one from the advert
An interesting tower at the Furka, entirely to ourselves. The thunderstorm arrived in the afternoon.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The tower is known from the Mammut advertising, which takes nothing away from its quality but does raise expectations.
We were completely alone and moved quickly because of it. The 6a+ exit pitch is good, but also strenuous — exactly the kind of pitch where you sit down for a moment at the top.
The approach and descent cross a snowfield and are slightly unpleasant. No real problem, but with rock shoes on your harness and no crampons you walk more carefully than you’d expected to.
The thunderstorm came in the afternoon. Good that we were early.
