Var. Platte

Climbing "Var. Platte" (grade 7) in the Hochschwab Group is an experience that blends physical challenge with breathtaking alpine scenery. This particular route, a variation of a more established climb, likely features a slab (Platte in German) as its defining characteristic. Slab climbing demands precise footwork, delicate balance, and a mental fortitude to trust the friction of your climbing shoes. The grade 7 rating indicates a significant level of difficulty, requiring solid experience in intermediate climbing techniques and a good head for heights. The Hochschwab Group itself offers a rugged and remote setting, rewarding climbers with panoramic views of the surrounding Styrian Alps. Successfully sending "Var. Platte" would be a testament to a climber's skill, strength, and resilience, leaving them with a lasting sense of accomplishment and a profound connection to the mountains.
