Climbing "6 x 7 ist 8 - Kleiner Lafatscher" on the Kleiner Lafatscher in the Karwendel mountains offers a demanding yet immensely rewarding experience. Graded 8- (UIAA), this route is a true test of a climber's technique, endurance, and mental fortitude. The name itself is a quirky play on numbers, but the climbing is anything but a game. Expect sustained, intricate climbing on excellent Karwendel limestone, characterized by small crimps, pockets, and delicate footwork on steep slabs or slightly overhanging sections. Protection is generally good, typical of modern alpine sport climbing routes in the region, with well-placed bolts guiding the way through the most challenging cruxes. As you ascend, the exposure increases, offering increasingly spectacular views of the surrounding rugged peaks of the Karwendel range. It's a high-quality multi-pitch route that promises an unforgettable adventure for experienced climbers looking for a significant challenge in a stunning alpine environment.
