Climbing 'Hotzenplotz' (5+) on the Breite Wand is a rewarding experience, offering a blend of interesting climbing and stunning views. The route typically involves sustained face climbing with occasional steeper sections. Expect good holds, but also moments requiring careful footwork and thoughtful route finding. The rock is generally solid, but always be mindful of loose rock, especially after periods of frost or rain. The crux move usually involves a reachy pull over a small overhang. Be prepared for exposure, especially on the upper pitches. The feeling of topping out on the Breite Wand, having conquered 'Hotzenplotz', is truly unforgettable.
