Schokodattelfeigen

The Dollfußstein E (South) face, bathed in morning sun, offers a superb climbing experience, and among its gems is the wonderfully named 'Schokodattelfeigen' (Chocolate Date Figs). Graded 6- (UIAA), this route is a testament to delightful rock architecture and engaging movement. The ascent begins with pleasant, warm-up moves on solid limestone, gradually gaining exposure. As you climb higher, the route reveals its character: sections of technical precision on smaller crimps give way to generous jugs, demanding varied climbing techniques. The 'crux' section, while never truly desperate for the grade, requires focus and precise footwork, often leading to a moment of exhilaration as you pull over a bulge. The name 'Schokodattelfeigen' feels apt; it's a sweet, rich, and ultimately satisfying climb. Reaching the anchors, the panoramic views across the valley are your reward, a perfect culmination to an ascent that lives up to its deliciously quirky name.
