Eistanz

Climbing 'Eistanz' (grade 6) in the majestic Gletscherseeplatten is an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst the stunning alpine landscape, this classic route offers a fantastic blend of technical slab climbing and breathtaking exposure. The name 'Eistanz' (Ice Dance) might suggest ice, but it's a pure rock dance on smooth, often friction-dependent granite. Each pitch demands precision and a steady head, as you gracefully ascend the seemingly blank slabs, relying on small features and good footwork. The views open up dramatically with every meter gained, fostering a deep sense of flow and focus. The exposure is exhilarating, but the quality of the rock and the engaging moves make it incredibly rewarding. Reaching the top feels like a true accomplishment, with panoramic vistas stretching across the glacial lakes and surrounding peaks. The return typically involves a mix of rappelling and easy scrambling, allowing for one last look at the impressive line you've just climbed. It's a challenging yet immensely satisfying ascent that truly embodies the spirit of alpine rock climbing.
