Jennyriss - Koschutnikturm

The 'Jennyriss' route on Koschutnikturm is a true alpine classic. Graded 5+ (UIAA), it presents a rewarding challenge for climbers with solid multi-pitch experience. Located on the impressive Koschutnikturm, part of the Koschuta/Košuta massif straddling the Austrian-Slovenian border, the climb offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Karawanken range and valleys.

The 'Riss' (crack) in its name is no coincidence; the route features excellent crack climbing interspersed with slab and face sections. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing secure holds and good friction. While not extreme, the 5+ grade demands confident movement, good technique, and a steady head for heights, especially on its more exposed pitches. It's a proper alpine adventure, requiring efficient rope work and awareness of mountain conditions.

Reaching the summit of Koschutnikturm via Jennyriss is a deeply satisfying achievement, offering unforgettable moments in a stunning natural setting.
