Nörglerkante

Climbing the 'Nörglerkante' (UIAA V) on the 'Grünsteinfindling Südostwand' offers a truly classic and memorable experience in the heart of the Berchtesgaden Alps. This route is renowned for its exposed nature, hugging the prominent edge (Kante) that gives it its name. The approach is typically straightforward, often a pleasant walk through the forest, leading directly to the base of the imposing Southeast Face. The climb itself unfolds over several pitches, generally starting with easier, yet engaging, terrain before gradually increasing in difficulty. The grade V crux usually presents itself as a delicate slab negotiation or a sustained, exposed traverse along the sharp arête, demanding precise footwork and confident movement. Protection opportunities are generally adequate, ensuring a relatively safe ascent for those comfortable with the grade. Throughout the climb, panoramic vistas of the shimmering Königssee and the majestic surrounding peaks unfold, providing breathtaking backdrops. It's a highly recommended route for intermediate climbers seeking an adventurous and aesthetically pleasing line. The descent usually involves rappelling down the face or a combination of rappels and a hiking trail, depending on the specific exit from the summit.
