1-4-Mantle

Climbing "1-4-Mantle" (7+) in "Kühlschrank G (Nord)" offers a memorable experience for any climber seeking a technical challenge. The route's name, "1-4-Mantle," directly points to its defining feature: a powerful and precise mantle sequence that serves as the crux. This isn't merely a push-up onto a ledge; it demands excellent body tension, friction awareness, and a committed follow-through to transition successfully onto the higher terrain. Graded 7+ (likely UIAA), it represents a solid test of intermediate to advanced climbing skills, requiring sustained focus throughout. The "Kühlschrank" (refrigerator) setting, being north-facing, often provides cool and shady conditions, making it an excellent choice for warmer days, though it can feel damp after rain. The rock quality, typical for the region, is generally good limestone, offering pockets, crimps, and friction slabs leading up to and away from the crux. "1-4-Mantle" is a rewarding ascent that truly hones one's mantle technique and climbing composure in a uniquely atmospheric gully or sector.
