Goldfinger

Climbing "Goldfinger" (Grade 7) in the Dachstein Mountains is a truly memorable experience. This route, often found on the south faces, typically offers sustained technical climbing on solid limestone. Be prepared for challenging sequences of crimps, pockets, and sometimes even delicate traverses. The exposure is significant, with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Good footwork and efficient movement are essential to conserve energy. Gear placement can range from bomber to slightly run-out, requiring careful route finding and solid trad skills. The sense of accomplishment at the summit, having conquered this demanding line, is immense. It's a climb that tests both physical strength and mental fortitude, making it a rewarding tick for any seasoned climber.
