Via Aqua - Kleine Halt

Via Aqua on Kleine Halt is a classic multi-pitch sport route offering a fantastic climbing experience. Graded at 7- (French scale), it presents a good challenge for experienced climbers who are comfortable with sustained difficulty. The route name hints at its location, often exposed to some moisture or seepage, particularly in the lower sections. Expect mostly solid limestone, but be aware of potential polish in well-traveled areas.

The route follows a logical line up the Kleine Halt face, offering varied climbing styles including slabs, vertical walls, and some enjoyable crimping. Careful footwork is crucial, especially on the crux pitches. Protection is generally good with well-placed bolts, but bringing a few quickdraws with longer slings is recommended to manage rope drag. The views from the top are rewarding, providing a panoramic perspective of the surrounding mountains. Prepare for a full day of climbing and remember to bring appropriate gear, including a helmet and enough water and food.
