Drachentöter

Climbing 'Drachentöter' (Dragon Slayer), a grade 7 at Flugdrachenfelsen, is an experience that demands respect and precision. The route, living up to its name, feels like a battle against the rock itself. The initial overhang is a powerful statement, requiring a burst of energy and thoughtful footwork. The holds are generally good, but spaced enough to test your reach and commitment. Finding the right sequence through the crux is key – a dynamic move followed by delicate crimping. Above the crux, the angle eases slightly, but the climbing remains sustained, demanding focus until the anchors. The exposure is exhilarating, with fantastic views from the top, making the hard-won victory all the more satisfying. 'Drachentöter' is a memorable climb that rewards both strength and technique, a true test of a climber's abilities at the grade.
