Via Michaela

Climbing Via Michaela (6+/7-) on Hoher Stein is a rewarding experience, blending challenging technical moves with stunning alpine scenery. The route itself is characterized by its sustained difficulty, requiring solid finger strength, precise footwork, and good route-finding skills. While the grade suggests a moderate difficulty, the exposure adds a significant psychological element, especially in the upper sections. The rock quality is generally good, but loose rock can be encountered, demanding caution. Key features include several crimpy traverses, vertical sections with small holds, and a final powerful roof pull. The views from the top are breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista of the surrounding mountains. Overall, Via Michaela offers a classic alpine climbing experience for well-prepared and experienced climbers.
