Katastrophal

Climbing "Katastrophal" (Grade 5) on Hausstein is a memorable experience. The route, while not overly difficult in terms of grade, presents a unique challenge. The rock is solid, but can be quite polished in places, requiring careful footwork and precise hand placements. Expect a mix of slab climbing and some steeper, juggy sections. The exposure is moderate, adding to the feeling of adventure. The crux often lies in maintaining balance on the polished sections and finding the optimal sequence of moves. Successfully topping out "Katastrophal" provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment, especially considering the name! It's a great route for honing your technique and practicing efficient movement on varied terrain. Don't underestimate it, and be prepared for some thought-provoking climbing.
