Climbing the 'Pelikan / Riebe - Kalbling' route on the Kalbling mountain, graded at a very approachable 4- (UIAA), offers a fantastic classic multi-pitch experience. Located in the picturesque Gesäuse region, this route is often recommended as an ideal introduction to longer climbs or for those seeking a less demanding but highly enjoyable day out. The climbing itself is characterized by good rock quality, mostly sustained but moderate difficulties, featuring plenty of comfortable holds and reliable footholds. While not technically challenging, it requires consistent movement and attention to route finding. The exposure is pleasant, offering progressively stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape as you ascend. It's a route that allows you to focus on the joy of movement in a vertical environment and soak in the majestic scenery, rather than battling extreme technical challenges. Perfect for developing multi-pitch skills or simply enjoying a beautiful day in the mountains.
