Climbing 'Sanduhrenparadies - Brunntal' (grade 6-) in the Brunntalwand is an absolute classic for those looking to experience moderate multi-pitch climbing with a unique, traditional feel. Graded 6- (UIAA scale), it offers an accessible yet engaging challenge for experienced intermediate climbers. The name itself, 'Hourglass Paradise,' is a direct hint at its most defining feature: the abundance of natural protection opportunities via slings threaded through distinctive, hourglass-shaped rock formations. This ingenious system, complemented by well-placed bolts at belay stations and some cruxes, makes for a wonderfully 'trad' experience without being overly committing. The climbing varies from technical slabs to more sustained sections, all on solid rock and set against the picturesque backdrop of the Brunntal. It's a fantastic route to hone your natural protection skills and enjoy panoramic views. Descent is typically by abseiling down the route itself.
