Climbing the 'Südverschneidung Hechnberg' (grade 7/7+) is a truly memorable experience. This iconic route on Hechnberg lives up to its name as a prominent south-facing corner and chimney system. The climbing is sustained, technical, and surprisingly varied, demanding a full repertoire of skills. You'll encounter intricate slab moves that test your balance, powerful crack sections that challenge your strength, and exposed traverses that require commitment and a steady nerve. Each pitch presents its own unique puzzle, with the cruxes demanding precision and mental fortitude. Despite the intensity of the grade, the position is spectacular, offering breathtaking views over the Bavarian landscape. Reaching the top provides a profound sense of accomplishment, having navigated a truly classic and challenging line.
