The 'Kaminreihe' (Chimney Series) on the North Face of Klagenfurter Spitze is a true classic, offering a challenging Grade IV climbing experience. This route is renowned for its sustained climbing through a series of demanding chimneys and cracks. The rock is generally solid, providing excellent friction, but the exposure on the North Face can be significant. It requires good technique, stamina, and a steady head for heights. Ascending the Kaminreihe is a highly rewarding experience, combining intricate technical sections with breathtaking views of the Karawanken mountain range and the surrounding landscapes. After successfully topping out on the summit of Klagenfurter Spitze, the descent typically follows the normal route, often a marked path or a less technical ridge, leading safely back down to the Klagenfurter Hütte or the valley below, allowing for reflection on a memorable alpine adventure.
