Climbing in the St. Gallen Oberland, SAC climbing guide

The Swiss Alpine Club's (SAC) climbing guidebook "St. Galler Oberland" presents over 60 climbing areas – from relaxed crags to challenging alpine routes. It impresses with its detailed climbing topos, precise information on protection and approach, and spectacular photographs. The author, mountain guide and author Thomas Wälti, who lives in the region, is himself active in developing and maintaining routes.

Author: Thomas Wälti from Mastrils, Graubünden, is a full-time mountain guide. His mountaineering and climbing career has taken him to all of Switzerland's 4,000-meter peaks, lead climbs to all 1,142 summits in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, and to numerous rock faces around the world. But he still prefers the rock faces between the Rätikon, Alpstein, Churfirsten, and Gonzen ranges. He has written several climbing and ski touring guidebooks for the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), most recently as co-author of the climbing guide "Glarnerland."
