Sonnenplatterl

Climbing Sonnenplatterl (5+) in the Dachstein Mountains is a memorable experience. The route, known for its solid limestone and exposed positions, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape. The climbing itself is generally well-protected, with bolts strategically placed. However, some sections require careful footwork and mindful route finding. While technically a 5+, the exposure and alpine environment can make it feel more challenging for some climbers. A good head for heights and solid climbing skills are essential. Reaching the summit rewards you with an unparalleled vista of the Dachstein glacier and the surrounding peaks. The descent typically involves rappelling and some downclimbing, requiring attention to detail and careful management of your gear. Sonnenplatterl is a fantastic adventure for experienced climbers seeking a classic alpine route in a breathtaking setting.
