Climbing "Fields of Gold - Issplatten" (6+) on Hochiss is a memorable experience. The route, as its name suggests, follows golden-hued, icy slabs, demanding precise footwork and delicate movements. While the difficulty is rated at 6+, the icy conditions often make it feel significantly harder, requiring confidence and good technique. Protection can be sparse at times, adding to the adventure. The exposure is considerable, and the stunning panoramic views from the climb offer a worthwhile reward for the effort. The overall experience combines technical climbing with alpine exposure, making it a challenging and rewarding route for experienced climbers.
