Feigling

Climbing "Feigling" (Grade 5+) in the Berchtesgaden Alps is a rewarding experience for intermediate climbers seeking a beautiful and slightly exposed route. Located within a stunning alpine setting, the climb offers panoramic views and a taste of the region's characteristic rock.

The name, which translates to "Coward" or "Chicken," might be a playful nudge to the climber's potential hesitation at certain points, although the route itself is generally considered well-protected and manageable for its grade. Expect varied climbing, potentially including slab sections, corners, and short, steeper steps. Good footwork and confident handholds are essential.

Preparation is key. Research the specific route details, current conditions, and weather forecast beforehand. Bring appropriate gear, including a sufficient number of quickdraws, a rope suitable for multi-pitch climbing (if applicable), and personal protective equipment. Depending on the location and accessibility of the climb, an approach hike may be involved. Always climb with a partner and communicate clearly. Enjoy the incredible views and the satisfaction of conquering "Feigling" in the magnificent Berchtesgaden Alps!
