Climbing 'Hexentanz der Fersen' (7-) on the Häuslhorn South Wall is a captivating and truly memorable experience. This multi-pitch route lives up to its name, 'Witch's Dance of the Heels,' demanding precise footwork, delicate balance, and a rhythmic flow as you ascend the impressive limestone. The south-facing aspect ensures ample sunshine, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Alpine landscape throughout the climb. Each pitch presents its unique character, from technical slabs requiring careful smearing to short, powerful sections on small crimps, all meticulously bolted. The crux, often a specific sequence of moves, truly tests your focus and determination, demanding full commitment. Yet, the quality of the rock and the thoughtful route-setting provide a sense of security while maintaining the adventurous spirit. Reaching the summit after overcoming these challenges is incredibly rewarding, a blend of exhilaration and awe. The descent, typically by rappelling, offers a final chance to soak in the majestic scenery. It's an alpine sport climbing adventure that combines physical challenge with profound natural beauty.
