Climbing 'Schnitzeltag' (8-) in Burgstall is an experience that truly lives up to its playful name – perhaps you feel like you've earned a schnitzel afterwards! Located in the impressive granite arena of Burgstall, South Tyrol, this grade 8- route presents a classic challenge. It's not just about raw power; it demands precision, delicate footwork, and sustained finger strength on Burgstall's characteristic friction-rich and crimpy granite. From the initial technical moves to the airy upper sections, the climb is a captivating dance with the rock. Each hold feels carefully placed by nature, leading you higher through a mix of slopers, crimps, and small edges. The exposure grows with every meter, offering increasingly panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and peaks. Reaching the anchors, there's a profound sense of accomplishment. 'Schnitzeltag' isn't just a physical test; it's a memorable journey into the heart of one of South Tyrol's most iconic climbing areas, leaving you with vivid memories and perhaps, a craving for that well-deserved post-climb meal.
