Grindloch

Climbing 'Grindloch' (grade 7/7+) on the Kleine Prossetwand is an unforgettable experience. This route, a true gem of the area, offers a fantastic blend of technical challenges and sustained climbing. From the approach, the impressive face of the Kleine Prossetwand looms, promising an exciting day. The rock quality, typically solid limestone, provides excellent friction, but don't let that fool you – 'Grindloch' demands precision and endurance. The lower sections ease you in, but as you ascend, the pitches become steeper and more demanding. The crux, often a sustained sequence of small crimps and powerful moves on slightly overhanging terrain, truly tests your limits. The exposure grows with every meter, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and peaks. Reaching the anchors after successfully navigating the cruxes brings a profound sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of a hard-earned ascent. It's a classic for a reason – challenging, rewarding, and undeniably beautiful.
