Difficulty
K2. Slightly to moderately difficult.
Valley/Starting-point:
Eigergletscher station (2,320 m), by rail from Interlaken Ost via Wengen or Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg (2,061 m).
Walk-in
From the Eigergletscher station, follow the Eiger Trail to the grassy
hillock at Wart, and then follow paths up to the start point at 2,400
m, behind a mountain-top, with the Rotstockschlucht gorge immediately
to your left: 45 minutes.
Eiger-Rotstock via ferrata:
The course of the route via the new-old via ferrata is easily visible;
easy walking sections are marked only with cairns. From the saddle of
Rotstock, you quickly climb in stages onto the flat peak of Rotstock
(2,663 m), with sheer faces on all sides; 1 hour 15 minutes from the
start.
Descent
Head back to the saddle and then to the south-west, across scree and
slab sections (cairns and fixed ropes) down to the Eigergletscher
station; 45 minutes.
