Froschkönig

Climbing "Froschkönig" (Grade 3) in the Dachstein Mountains is a delightful introduction to multi-pitch alpine climbing. The route, known as "Frog King" in English, offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. While technically not overly challenging at a grade of 3, it requires confidence on exposed rock and the ability to manage ropes efficiently. The climbing itself is varied, with enjoyable slabs, cracks, and short traverses. The rock quality is generally good, providing solid holds. Depending on the time of year, snow patches might linger, adding a touch of alpine character. A head for heights is definitely needed, and proper gear, including a helmet, harness, rope, and appropriate footwear, is essential. The climb is a great stepping stone for those looking to progress to more demanding alpine routes in the Dachstein.
