Climbing "Südwind" on the impressive Breitwand is an experience for any ambitious climber. Graded 7+/8- (UIAA), this route presents a significant challenge, known for its sustained difficulty and exposed pitches. The climb typically follows superb, often steep limestone, demanding a full range of climbing techniques from delicate slabs to powerful overhangs. Each pitch offers its own unique character, keeping focus high and arms pumping. Being on the south-facing Breitwand, climbers can expect sun-drenched rock, but also a feeling of immense exposure as the wall drops away beneath them. The views from the higher sections are breathtaking, stretching across the alpine landscape. "Südwind" is more than just a sequence of moves; it's a journey that tests physical endurance, mental fortitude, and a deep appreciation for the vertical world. Successfully topping out leaves a profound sense of accomplishment.
