Schwebfliegenweg

Climbing 'Schwebfliegenweg' (4+) on the 'Gletscherseeplatten' is a classic alpine rock experience. Nestled amidst the high mountains, near a glistening glacial lake, these slabs offer superb friction climbing. The 4+ grade indicates a moderate but sustained challenge, primarily involving slab climbing where delicate footwork and balance are key. While not overly steep, the exposure can feel significant on its multiple pitches. The route is known for its incredible views, extending across the glacial landscape and beyond. It's a fantastic route for developing multi-pitch skills and enjoying a long day out in a breathtaking environment. Protection is generally good, often with bolts or opportunities for traditional gear. After topping out, the descent typically involves a combination of rappels and a walk-off, carefully navigating the terrain back towards the lake or base. It's a memorable adventure, combining the physical satisfaction of climbing with the awe-inspiring beauty of the high alpine.
