Climbing 'Rauchende Sohlen' (Smoking Soles), a classic 4+ route in the majestic Gletscherseeplatten, is an unforgettable experience. This multi-pitch slab climb truly lives up to its name, demanding precise footwork and a deep trust in friction. The granite slabs offer fantastic exposure with breathtaking views of the surrounding glaciers and the shimmering Gletschersee below. Each pitch presents engaging technical challenges, but at a grade that allows you to fully appreciate the stunning alpine environment. The sound of the glacier lake often accompanies your ascent, adding to the atmosphere. It's a journey where your soles might indeed feel like they're smoking from the constant dance on the rock, but the reward is a profound sense of accomplishment and unparalleled beauty.
