Pissoir du Diable is located in the far right part of the Teufelstalwand. Although the route has such big names as Laura, Alpentraum or Im Zeichen der Freundschaft as neighbours, it regularly sees visitors. And rightly so. Contrary to what the name implies, Pissoir du Diable offers pleasant, grippy climbing. The protection is very good, in some places you have to add cams. Compared to other routes on the Teufelstalwand, a couple of exciting moves can be climbed between the bolts here, which gives Pissoir du Diable more character. Overall, a very worthwhile climb, even if it is a little surpassed in terms of class by its neighbors.
