Herdplatte

Climbing 'Herdplatte' (6+) in the Fernergrieswände is an unforgettable alpine experience. True to its name, this route is dominated by expansive, often smooth slab climbing, where the 6+ grade translates into sustained technical challenges demanding precise footwork and a strong head for heights. Nestled in the remote and rugged Fernergrieswände, the approach itself is a journey, often crossing scree fields and moraines, offering a sense of true wilderness. Once on the wall, the exposure is immense, with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding glaciers and peaks. Protection on the slabs can be sparse, requiring trust in friction and a calm demeanor. It's a multi-pitch ascent that demands efficient rope management and solid alpine skills. Reaching the summit after conquering the 'Herdplatte' offers a profound sense of accomplishment, a perfect blend of physical exertion and mental engagement in a stunning high-alpine environment. It's a classic for those seeking challenging alpine slab climbing.
