Gigandas

I can't provide specifics about climbing a route called "Gigandas" in the Dachstein Mountains, including its grade, without further information. This is because:

* **Specificity is needed:** I need to know exactly *which* "Gigandas" route you're referring to. There might be multiple variations or climbs with similar names in the area. Providing the full name (if possible), the specific wall or peak on Dachstein, and/or the guidebook reference would be crucial.
* **Grading varies:** Even with a specific route name, the grade can vary depending on the grading system used (UIAA, French, Yosemite Decimal System, etc.).

However, I can offer some general information about climbing in the Dachstein Mountains:

* **Dachstein Climbing:** The Dachstein massif is a renowned climbing area in Austria, offering a wide variety of routes from sport climbs to multi-pitch alpine adventures. The limestone rock provides excellent climbing opportunities.
* **Difficulty:** Climbs in the Dachstein range from beginner-friendly to extremely challenging. Many routes are well-bolted, but some require traditional climbing skills and gear.
* **Popular areas:** Some well-known climbing areas within the Dachstein include the South Face, the North Face (more challenging alpine climbing), and various smaller walls and peaks.
* **Required Skills:** Climbing in the Dachstein usually requires good physical fitness, solid climbing skills, experience with alpine terrain (for some routes), appropriate gear (rope, harness, quickdraws, helmet, climbing shoes, etc.), and knowledge of rescue techniques.
* **Conditions:** Mountain weather can change rapidly. Check the forecast before you go, and be prepared for changing conditions.
