A really good session at the Meteoritenwand above Erstfeld — the drytooling garden that Uri finally has. North-facing gneiss, sheltered from the rain, fifteen minutes from the car, and climbable in pretty much any weather. Hard to beat for an early-season day on the tools.

The wall is a proper overhanging shield with a few logs bolted and wired onto it for the tools — the hanging one out on the steep section is the obvious feature. Autumn colours still in the forest, dry rock.
