Climbing 'Zwischen Kamin und Kante' (Grade 6) on Großer Beilstein is an iconic experience, embodying the spirit of Saxon sandstone climbing. True to its name, 'Between Chimney and Edge,' the route navigates a fascinating terrain, transitioning skillfully between a deep, committing chimney and exposed, airy sections along a prominent arête. Graded 6 on the Saxon scale, it presents a significant challenge, demanding precise technique, courage, and a deep appreciation for the traditional ethics of the region. Protection relies on well-placed rings and the clever use of knotted slings in cracks, typical of the Elbsandstein Gebirge. The climb offers magnificent views and a tangible connection to the pioneering spirit of early climbers, making it a must-do for those seeking a true adventure on this unique rock.
