Montée

Au départ de l’Allalinpass monter jusqu’au pied du Gendarme 4108 du Rimpfischhorn : Attention à la rimaye autour de 4000m. Le sommet du gendarme peut être gravi (court passage de 10m en III).

Descente

Du pied du gendarme descendre dans la face W (raide), et venir vers la petite face NE après la rimaye. Descendre cette facette jusqu’au grand plateau glacier de l’Allalingletscher.

Remarks:
  • Excellente face de 800m, loin des foules du Strahlhorn !
