Im Extremen Fels

The long-awaited new edition of 'Im Extremen Fels,' originally written by Walter Pause, is now available. After 45 years since the first edition of this amazing book, climbers can now enjoy a revised version of the 1970s cult classic.

Author Christoph Klein, a mountaineer, theologian, filmmaker, and journalist, brings you updated route descriptions, redpoint assessments, and new content that takes into account the changes of the last four decades, all while preserving the spirit of the original version. The iconic wall photos by Jürgen Winkler remain, with only the routes that are no longer climbable being replaced. Climbers from various generations have eagerly awaited this book's return, and it is now accessible at an affordable price.

The 'Climbing Bible' features nearly all the extreme routes that have challenged climbers since 1970. The overview topos in the printed book have been carefully revised, and eight routes have been updated due to their inaccessibility or apparent lack of appeal. However, the 17 extreme Swiss routes introduced 45 years ago still await adventurers, from the North Face of the Scheideggwetterhorn to the Schweizerpfeiler on the Grossen Drusenturm. Whether you aim for the Gray Wall or the Book Wall, this book is your ultimate guide.
