Climbing 'Open Up' (grade 7+) in the majestic Karwendel mountains is a quintessential alpine challenge. This demanding multi-pitch climb navigates exposed terrain, generally on good rock, but often featuring sections with significant run-outs that demand a strong mental game. The Karwendel setting itself adds to the adventure, providing breathtaking views and a true high-alpine feel. 'Open Up' is a true classic for ambitious climbers seeking more than just a sport route; it combines technical and sustained climbing with the inherent demands of an alpine environment, such as fickle weather and route finding. A successful ascent rewards climbers with unparalleled panoramas and a profound sense of accomplishment.
