Climbing the 'Waidhofnerweg' (UIAA V) on Kalbling is a classic alpine experience, offering an engaging and moderately challenging ascent to one of the Gesäuse's prominent peaks. The route navigates varied terrain, providing sections of good rock, exposed traverses, and rewarding views throughout. It's a popular choice for climbers seeking a true alpine adventure at this grade. After reaching the summit, the descent typically involves either rappelling the route or, more commonly, a walk down the normal route or an adjacent path, leading back to the base and completing a memorable day in the mountains.
