The Salbit south ridge is a classic in the granite of Uri. Solid rock, pointed towers and a grandiose atmosphere make this tour unique. The Salbit south ridge is very popular, and rightly so. It is rare to find such cool and spectacular climbing on good scales and cracks with lots of friction at this difficulty level. The tour leads over the towers of the south ridge and in between there is always abseiling. Difficulty 5b is never exceeded, often easier. We start the tour together on Saturday, climb up to the hut and do another short climb to get used to the rock and the climbing. On Sunday we start early and, well coached and accompanied by our mountain guide, we experience a terrific day in the granite. The weather looks perfect. On Sunday only towards late afternoon the typical summer showers and thunderstorms. But then we are already back down again.
