The Plattendirettissima on the Kleine Halt in the Wilder Kaiser range is a quintessential alpine slab climb. Graded 6- (UIAA), it's a testpiece of friction climbing and delicate balance. The route is defined by its long, exposed slabs, demanding precise footwork and a strong mental game, often with significant runouts between protection. While not overly steep, the sustained nature of the technical climbing on often polished rock makes it a physically and mentally demanding experience. Reaching the top offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Kaiser mountains. It's a classic for a reason, offering an elegant and memorable ascent for those comfortable with its unique challenges.
