Morbider Höhenrausch

The very name, 'Morbider Höhenrausch' – Morbid Height Ecstasy – hints at the unique, almost addictive challenge of this 8+ route on the iconic Badener Turm. From the moment you pull onto the rock, you understand why. It's a relentless test of finger strength, body tension, and mental fortitude. Each move is a puzzle, demanding precision and commitment. There are no rests; it's a sustained, powerful dance up the face.
As you climb higher, the world shrinks to the rock beneath your fingertips and the next elusive hold. This is where the 'Rausch' truly kicks in – a profound, almost trance-like state where fear dissipates, replaced by intense focus and an exhilarating sense of control amidst the exposure. The crux sequence is a masterclass in delicate balance and explosive power.
Reaching the anchors, exhausted but euphoric, the panoramic view from the summit of Badener Turm is your ultimate reward. It's more than just a climb; it's an immersive experience that pushes you to your limits and leaves you with an unforgettable 'high' – truly, a morbid ecstasy of the heights.
