Climbing the Berchtesgadener Hochthron - Südwand (South Face) is a classic Alpine experience for climbers comfortable at the 4- grade. This route, located on the impressive Berchtesgadener Hochthron peak, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Berchtesgaden National Park. The climbing itself typically involves well-featured, solid rock with plenty of holds, making it enjoyable for those new to Alpine climbing at this grade. However, the route's Alpine nature should not be underestimated. Proper gear, experience in route finding, and awareness of changing weather conditions are essential. The Südwand can be long and exposed, requiring good stamina and the ability to manage oneself in an Alpine environment. Success on this route provides a significant sense of accomplishment, combining challenging climbing with stunning scenery.
