Switzerland Extrem Jura (2017), topo-guide escalade

The Jura region boasts a rich history of groundbreaking ascents. In 1986, Antoine Le Menestrel achieved a historic milestone by conquering 'Ravage' (8b+/c) near Basel, which was then considered the world's most challenging climb. Seven years later, Fred Nicole raised the bar even higher with his legendary ascent of 'Bain de Sang' (9a) in St. Loup.

Following this initial wave of euphoria, the Jura walls entered a more tranquil period as top climbers sought new challenges. Nevertheless, the captivating woodlands and rocky terrain remained, offering endless possibilities. Beyond the demanding classics, this guidebook opens up a world of opportunities for climbers of all levels. You'll find a diverse range of well-protected routes, spanning from 6a to 8a, all set against the backdrop of the exquisite Jura limestone.
