Mayerfahrt, a classic route on the Arnstein Hauptwand, offers a delightful and relatively accessible introduction to alpine climbing. Graded at 2+, it's suitable for climbers with some experience on rock who are looking to step into multi-pitch terrain. While the grade might seem low, the route presents a genuine alpine feel, with exposed sections and the need for confident ropework.
The rock itself is generally solid limestone, though some loose sections can be encountered, so caution is advised. The route follows a logical line up the face, featuring interesting features like small ledges, chimneys, and corners. Protection is a mix of fixed pitons and opportunities for placing your own gear, requiring climbers to be comfortable with trad climbing principles.
Overall, Mayerfahrt on the Arnstein Hauptwand provides a rewarding climbing experience with stunning views. It's a great choice for a first alpine multi-pitch or a fun day out for more experienced climbers looking for a relaxed adventure.
