Stubenhit

Climbing 'Stubenhit' (grade 5+) on the impressive Breitwand is a truly rewarding experience, often cited as a classic of its grade. This multi-pitch route offers consistently enjoyable climbing on solid limestone, characteristic of the Austrian Alps. The pitches are varied, featuring a good mix of slabs, crack systems, and perhaps a steeper section or two that really test your technique at the 5+ level. Protection is generally good, often with well-placed bolts complementing traditional gear placements, making it feel secure despite the increasing exposure as you ascend. The views from higher up, and especially from the summit, are breathtaking, sweeping across the surrounding alpine landscape. It's a climb that requires good multi-pitch competence, efficient rope management, and a head for heights. After reaching the top and soaking in the panorama, the descent typically involves rappelling down the route or a designated rappel line, making for a relatively straightforward return to the base. 'Stubenhit' is highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable intermediate-grade rock climb.
