Climbing 'Anjuschka' (grade 6+) on Hochthron is an experience that perfectly blends exhilarating exposure with technical climbing challenges. This classic route on the Berchtesgaden Hochthron offers sustained climbing on excellent limestone, making it a highly rewarding endeavor for climbers operating at this grade. The lower pitches weave through steep, sometimes delicate terrain, demanding precise footwork and good technique. The 6+ crux often involves intricate moves on slabs or powerful sequences through small overhangs, requiring full commitment and a cool head. As you ascend, the views dramatically open up, encompassing the majestic Watzmann massif and the vast panorama of the surrounding Berchtesgaden Alps, serving as a constant breathtaking backdrop. There's a unique elegance to Anjuschka – it feels logical, engaging, and never purely about brute force. Reaching the summit after conquering the final pitches is a moment of pure triumph, the expansive vista a just reward for the effort. The descent, often via a scenic walk-off or a series of well-placed rappels, allows for reflection on a truly memorable alpine ascent. Anjuschka is more than just a climb; it's an alpine adventure that leaves a lasting impression.
