Riss der Kranken

Climbing "Riss der Kranken" (Grade 3) in the Kaiser Mountains is a rewarding experience for beginner to intermediate climbers. The route, despite its somewhat ominous name ("Crack of the Sick"), is generally well-protected and offers stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape. Expect exposed sections and the need for solid route-finding skills. The Kaiser Mountains themselves are a wild and beautiful range, and this climb allows you to experience their rugged charm firsthand. While grade 3 is relatively moderate, proper preparation, including appropriate gear, knowledge of alpine safety, and a partner you trust, is essential. Be sure to check weather conditions before heading out, as the Kaiser Mountains are known for sudden changes. The climb itself involves navigating a crack system, using stemming and jamming techniques. The rock quality can vary, so be mindful of loose holds. Successfully summiting "Riss der Kranken" is a fantastic achievement that will leave you with lasting memories of the beauty and challenge of alpine climbing.
