Schön, dass es dich gibt

Climbing 'Schön, dass es dich gibt' (German for 'Nice that you exist') on the Gehrenspitze is a rewarding and challenging alpine rock climb. Rated 6+ (UIAA), it demands solid rock climbing skills and experience with exposed terrain. The route likely features a mix of slab climbing, vertical sections, and potentially some traverses. Protection may be a combination of bolted sections and opportunities for placing your own gear.

Before attempting this climb, ensure you have the necessary fitness, technical skills (rope management, belaying, anchor building), and appropriate gear, including a rope, quickdraws, cams/nuts, helmet, and climbing shoes. A good weather window is crucial as the Gehrenspitze is an exposed peak. Check recent conditions reports and consider hiring a local guide if you're unfamiliar with the area or lack experience with alpine climbing at this grade. The views from the summit are sure to be spectacular, making the effort worthwhile.
