TL;DR Summary

Thieves in Switzerland shocked the climbing community by scaling a challenging protected climbing route, known as a via ferrata, to rob a donation box belonging to a local climbing club. The box, accessible only to experienced climbers, was found smashed open and empty. The thieves, equipped with mountaineering gear, even took the tools to break open the box. The climbing club, which maintains the route, expressed disbelief and disappointment, hoping for the return of the stolen money. This incident raises concerns about the need to change donation methods, as cash robberies have become a growing issue in Switzerland.
