Mayerkante

The 'Mayerkante' (grade 7-) on the 'Breitwand' is a true classic in the climbing world, renowned for its sustained difficulty and exposed character. Graded 7- (UIAA scale often implied for this region), it represents a significant challenge that demands both technical precision and mental fortitude. The route features magnificent, oftentimes airy pitches on excellent rock, offering fantastic exposure and panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape. Climbing the 'Mayerkante' is not just about the physical ascent; it's an immersive experience in alpine sport climbing, pushing your limits on a legendary line. After successfully reaching the top, the descent typically involves multiple abseils down the route itself or a nearby gully, requiring careful rope management and attention to detail. It's a highly recommended and rewarding climb for experienced leaders.
