Kurze Verschneidung

Climbing the "Kurze Verschneidung" (Short Corner) on the Dachstein is a classic, albeit short, alpine experience. While graded at a 3, the route delivers a healthy dose of exposure and solid climbing on excellent limestone. The approach typically involves a stunning hike to the base of the Dachstein south face, offering panoramic views. The climb itself consists of a well-defined corner, requiring confident movement and good ropework. Protection is generally good, with well-placed bolts allowing for comfortable lead climbing. Despite its brevity, the "Kurze Verschneidung" provides a taste of the grandeur of the Dachstein and a rewarding achievement for climbers of all levels. The descent usually involves a straightforward rappel or downclimb, followed by the return hike, leaving you with lasting memories of the Austrian Alps.
