Nass & Kalt

Climbing "Nass & Kalt" (Wet and Cold) in the Kaiser Mountains is a demanding but rewarding experience. This grade 5 (UIAA) route tests your skills and mental fortitude with its exposed traverses, technical crimps, and often wet or damp rock – hence the name. The Kaiser Mountains themselves provide a stunning backdrop, with dramatic limestone peaks piercing the sky. While the climbing might not be overly long, the sustained difficulty and potential for less-than-ideal conditions mean solid footwork, strong fingers, and a cool head are essential. Expect tricky route finding in places and be prepared for the possibility of moisture seeping from the rock, making holds slick. Successfully topping out "Nass & Kalt" provides a real sense of accomplishment and a great taste of what Kaiser climbing has to offer.
