Climbing the "Gigalitzturm Südostgrat Gigalitz" (rated 5-) is a classic alpine rock climb in the Gigalitz area. The route typically involves sustained, but moderate, climbing on generally solid rock. Expect exposed traverses, enjoyable crack and slab sections, and the occasional airy step. Good footwork and confident movement are essential, as the grade suggests continuous climbing rather than individual hard moves. Protecting the route usually involves a mix of trad gear (cams and nuts) and some bolts. Route finding skills are also valuable, although the line is generally quite obvious. The summit offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape, rewarding the effort of the climb. A memorable and satisfying experience for climbers comfortable at the grade.
