The 'Vegetarierkante' (Vegetarian Arête) on Kampermauer is a highly regarded classic multi-pitch route, offering a delightful climbing experience at a comfortable grade of 5- (UIAA). True to its name, it largely follows a prominent arête, providing exposed yet generally well-protected climbing. The route ascends through varied terrain, including slabs, cracks, and some steeper sections, leading to the summit with magnificent views over the surrounding Kampermauer area and the Salzkammergut landscape. Protection is a mix of bolts and natural placements, requiring a standard rack of cams and nuts. It's an excellent choice for climbers seeking an enjoyable day out on quality rock, combining technical moves with a scenic alpine feel.
