Climbing "Kernwall" (7-) at Hoher Stein is a demanding and rewarding experience. The route tackles a prominent arete on the wall, requiring a combination of technical footwork, precise hand placements, and good endurance. The rock quality is generally excellent, offering solid holds, but some sections may require careful assessment for potential looseness. The exposure on "Kernwall" adds to the overall challenge, as the route steepens considerably as you climb higher. Success on this route demands a well-rounded climbing skillset and a healthy dose of mental fortitude to overcome its sustained difficulty. The views from the top, however, are well worth the effort, providing a panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape.
