Goldhamster

Climbing "Goldhamster" (Grade 5) in the Dachstein Mountains is a rewarding experience. This route, while not exceedingly difficult, offers a taste of the alpine environment and provides stunning views. The rock is typically solid Dachstein limestone, but attention should be paid to potential looseness, especially after periods of freeze-thaw. The exposure can be significant in places, adding to the sense of adventure. Careful route finding and solid footwork are essential for a safe and enjoyable climb. It's important to check weather conditions before heading up, as the Dachstein is known for its rapidly changing conditions. Overall, "Goldhamster" is a great climb for those looking to step up from easier routes and explore the beauty of the Dachstein massif.
