Climbing 'Heimatliebe' (7+) on the Gamsplatte in the Ifinger area is a challenging and rewarding experience. The Gamsplatte is known for its compact, grey limestone offering technical face climbing. 'Heimatliebe' itself is a sustained route demanding precise footwork and strong fingers. Expect small holds, delicate sequences, and possibly some tricky stemming. The climb typically involves finding the right body position to efficiently navigate the demanding crux. The views from the Gamsplatte are stunning, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding valleys and mountains, making the effort worthwhile. Good conditions are essential, as the limestone can become slippery when wet. Climbers should be well-versed in technical climbing and comfortable on routes of this grade to fully appreciate the experience. Protection is generally considered to be good, but always assess placements before committing. The route's name, 'Heimatliebe' (love of homeland), reflects the deep connection climbers feel to this iconic climbing area in the Dolomites.
