Linksdrall

The 'Linksdrall' route on the Grüne Rettenwand is a true gem for climbers seeking a rewarding multi-pitch experience at the 5+ grade. Located in a stunning alpine setting, this route offers a fantastic blend of challenging yet enjoyable climbing. Known for its characteristic leftward traverse – the 'Linksdrall' itself – the route navigates excellent quality limestone, providing varied climbing across its pitches. You'll encounter everything from technical slabs and sustained crack climbing to exposed corners that truly test your footwork and nerve. The 5+ crux pitch, often involving delicate moves or a powerful sequence, demands focus but is well-protected. Each belay stance offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, making the pauses as enjoyable as the climbing. The exposure on the 'Linksdrall' is palpable, especially on the more open sections, adding to the adventurous feel. Reaching the top is incredibly satisfying, rewarded by an even grander vista. Descent is typically via a series of well-marked abseils or a walk-off, depending on the specific summit area. Overall, 'Linksdrall' is a highly recommended classic, offering a memorable day out on excellent rock with a great sense of achievement.
