The Haller Mauern Überschreitung, from the Admonter Haus to the Rohrauer Haus, is a classic alpine traverse in the Größer Pyhrgas region of Austria. Graded at 3+ (UIAA), it offers a rewarding climbing experience with stunning views. This route involves a combination of scrambling, easy climbing, and exposed traverses, making it suitable for experienced hikers and climbers with solid alpine skills and a good head for heights. Proper equipment, including helmet, harness, rope, and appropriate footwear, is essential. The route follows a well-defined path, marked with frequent paint markers, but navigation skills are still required, especially in poor weather conditions.
