Climbing the Grieslehnrinne on Hohe Munde is a challenging and rewarding alpine experience. This route, graded at 5- (UIAA), offers a sustained and engaging climb in a beautiful mountain environment. The Grieslehnrinne itself is a prominent gully feature on the imposing north face of the Hohe Munde. Expect mixed terrain, including rock, grass, and potentially snow or ice depending on the season. The rock quality can vary, so careful route finding and good rope management are crucial. Physical fitness and alpine experience are essential for a successful ascent. The views from the summit are stunning, encompassing the surrounding Ötztal Alps and Inn Valley. The descent typically involves rappelling and scrambling down the south side of the mountain, adding further commitment and requiring careful planning. Gear recommendations include a standard alpine rack, ice axe and crampons depending on conditions, and a good knowledge of self-rescue techniques.
