Fegefeuer

Climbing 'Fegefeuer' (Purgatory) in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for intermediate climbers. Rated at grade 6 (UIAA), it offers a challenging but manageable route with a good mix of technical climbing and physical endurance.

Be sure to check weather conditions beforehand and bring appropriate gear, including a helmet, harness, quickdraws, and rope. A solid understanding of lead climbing techniques and belaying is essential. 'Fegefeuer' is a climb that will test your skills and leave you with a sense of accomplishment.
