Grosser Pfeiler

Climbing Grosser Pfeiler (4-) in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for climbers comfortable with exposed rock and moderate difficulty. The route, though relatively short, offers fantastic views of the surrounding alpine landscape. Expect a climb with solid rock, well-placed protection, and enjoyable moves. The crux section, usually a short, slightly overhanging wall, tests your strength and technique, but is manageable with good footwork and a solid grip. Overall, Grosser Pfeiler is a classic Alpine climb that provides a taste of bigger mountain adventures and is a perfect introduction to the Gutenstein Alps. Make sure to check weather conditions before heading out and be prepared for potential changes in the alpine environment.
