Climbing 'Genußkönig' (Pleasure King) on the Eastern Schoberkopf is a truly memorable experience. Graded VI (UIAA), this classic route fully lives up to its name, offering delightful and engaging climbing on superb rock. The pitches are varied, featuring beautiful slabs, intricate cracks, and enjoyable wall sections, all generally well-protected, making for a flowing and rewarding ascent. The panoramic views of the surrounding Hohe Tauern mountain range are simply breathtaking throughout the climb. After reaching the summit, the descent typically involves several rappels down the route or via a nearby, well-established descent line, bringing you safely back to the base of the wall. It's a highly recommended alpine rock climb for those seeking an enjoyable yet challenging day in a magnificent setting.
