Climbing 'Spass 2000' (grade 8-) on the Fleischbank East Wall is a quintessential challenge in the Kaiser Mountains, offering a truly memorable alpine experience. Graded 8- (UIAA scale), this route is renowned for its sustained and exposed climbing on excellent limestone. Each of its numerous pitches presents unique difficulties, from intricate technical sections to powerful, overhanging moves, demanding both skill and endurance. The east-facing orientation means early morning sun, providing warmth before the wall falls into shade later in the day, making it a good choice for hotter periods. The exposure steadily increases as you ascend, culminating in breathtaking panoramic views from the summit. While generally well-equipped with bolts, 'Spass 2000' still requires a confident approach and good judgment, as the moves can be committing. Completing this classic line is a deeply rewarding achievement, a true test of one's climbing prowess and mental fortitude. The descent typically involves a series of rappels, rounding off an adventurous day.
