Quantifications of in-situ denudation rates on vertical headwalls, averaged over millennia, have been thwarted because of inaccessibility. Here, we benefit from a tunnel crossing a large and vertical headwall in the European Alps (Eiger), where we measured concentrations of in-situ cosmogenic <sup>36</sup>Cl along five depth profiles linking the tunnel with the headwall surface. Isotopic concentrations of <sup>36</sup>Cl are low in surface samples, but high at depth relative to expectance for th ...[more]
