El Molinero 8c+ by Marco Mรผller

Marco Mรผller, who previously has done two 9a's, has done El Molinero 8c+ in Gimmelwald. The crag is located at 1600m and the closest city is Interlaken which is 20 km away.

"First, you take a cable car from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald and then hike approx for 45min. You can walk up, up it adds another 45min of hiking ;) There are around 30 routes, 25 of them above 8a and 4 of them 9a's.

It's a powerful and steep route with no rests. The crux is a cool jump where both feet cut loose, after that, you just rush to the top hoping the forearm pump doesn't kick in. I could climb this route in my fourth session, one last season and three this year."
