Ohrwaschl

Climbing the 'Ohrwaschl' (the Earlobe) in the majestic Dachstein Mountains is a truly memorable alpine experience. Graded 4+, this route isn't about extreme difficulty but rather about the joy of movement on excellent rock and breathtaking surroundings. The name itself hints at a distinctive, perhaps rounded feature. As you ascend, the limestone provides good grip, leading you through exposed sections that offer increasingly panoramic views of the surrounding Dachstein plateau and distant peaks. It's a perfect blend of challenging scrambling and proper climbing, requiring sure-footedness and a head for heights. Reaching the top rewards you with an incredible sense of accomplishment and a vista that stretches endlessly. It's a classic for a reason – a quintessential Dachstein adventure.
