Kalimero

Climbing 'Kalimero' in the Karawanks and Bachergebirge offers a challenging and rewarding experience for seasoned climbers. This route, typically graded 8-/8 (French scale), demands a high level of technical skill, strength, and mental fortitude. Expect sustained sequences of powerful moves on demanding crimps and pockets, often requiring precise footwork and body positioning. The rock type in this area is typically limestone or dolomite, providing both excellent friction in dry conditions and potentially slippery holds when wet. Depending on the specific location within the Karawanks or Bachergebirge, the route's character can vary, from steep, overhanging walls to more technical and slabby sections. Due to the alpine environment, weather conditions can change rapidly, so careful planning and proper gear are essential. Successfully sending 'Kalimero' is a testament to a climber's dedication and ability to push their limits in a stunning mountain setting.
