Climbing 'Alibaba' (4+) in the Dachstein Mountains is a fantastic introduction to alpine climbing in a truly spectacular setting. The route, while not overly demanding technically, offers exposed positions and breathtaking views across the Hoher Dachstein glacier and surrounding peaks. The rock is typically solid limestone, though some sections can be a little polished from frequent ascents. Expect enjoyable climbing with good holds, but also be prepared for the altitude and changeable mountain weather. Proper gear, including a rope, harness, helmet, and appropriate footwear are essential. A worthwhile climb for experienced climbers seeking a scenic and rewarding experience in the Austrian Alps.
