Alte Südwand Nockplatte

Ascending the 'Alte Südwand Nockplatte' (Old South Face Nockplatte) on Hoher Nock, within the majestic Sengsen Mountains, is a truly rewarding alpine rock climbing experience. Graded a classic 4+, this route offers a fantastic blend of moderately challenging yet highly enjoyable climbing. The limestone is generally solid, providing good friction and varied holds. The pitches wind their way up the impressive south face, often exposed, with sections of slab, cracks, and some more vertical steps.

What truly elevates this climb are the breathtaking panoramic views that unfold with every meter gained. From the summit of Nockplatte, you're treated to sweeping vistas of the surrounding Sengsen range and beyond. It's a testament to traditional alpine climbing, accessible to climbers with solid foundational skills, offering a memorable day out in a stunning natural setting. A definite recommendation for those seeking a classic, scenic, and moderately graded multi-pitch adventure.
