Drachentöter

Climbing "Drachentöter" (Dragon Slayer), a route graded 6+ in the Dachstein Mountains, is an experience that demands both skill and respect. The Dachstein massif is a dramatic landscape, and this route is no exception, offering stunning views and challenging climbing on solid limestone.

The route itself typically involves well-protected but exposed sections of vertical and slightly overhanging rock. Good technique is crucial, as is stamina, especially given the altitude. Proper gear, including a reliable rope, quickdraws, and personal safety equipment, is essential. Careful planning is necessary, including checking weather conditions and understanding the approach and descent. The feeling of topping out on "Drachentöter", having overcome its challenges, and being rewarded with the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains is a truly unforgettable accomplishment.
