Climbing "Mai più la Guerre" (Never more war) in the Ankogel group is an experience that pushes the boundaries of alpine rock climbing. Graded 9+/10- UIAA, this route is a true test piece, placing it among the most demanding multi-pitch climbs in the Eastern Alps. The Ankogel group, known for its impressive granite and gneiss formations, provides a stunning yet rugged backdrop for this formidable ascent.

The route typically ascends steep, often vertical to slightly overhanging walls, demanding exceptional technical skill, endurance, and mental fortitude. Climbers can expect long, sustained pitches with intricate moves, requiring precision in footwork and confident use of often sparse protection.
