The "Dirndl Überschreitung" on Hohes Dirndl is a classic alpine traverse, offering exposed and engaging climbing at a moderate grade of 3+ (UIAA). This route typically involves a combination of scrambling, short roped pitches, and glacier travel (depending on conditions and the specific approach). The rock quality is generally good, providing solid holds, but careful route finding is still essential, especially navigating around gendarmes and across exposed ridges. The views from the summit and along the traverse are spectacular, encompassing the surrounding peaks of the Gesäuse National Park. A good head for heights, solid alpine experience, and the ability to move efficiently on exposed terrain are essential for a safe and enjoyable ascent.
