You're constantly exposed, with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys stretching as far as the eye can see. The rock is generally solid, though sections can be a bit polished from years of climbers, requiring careful footwork and precise handholds. The crux moves are typically found in the middle section, demanding powerful pulls and delicate traverses. Successfully topping out Thorsteinblick leaves you with a profound sense of accomplishment, knowing you've conquered a challenging and beautiful climb in one of Austria's most iconic mountain ranges. The descent typically involves rappelling down the route, requiring careful attention and well-placed anchors.
