Affentheater

Climbing 'Affentheater' (Grade 6) on the Lackenkopfwand is a true alpine classic, offering an unforgettable experience for seasoned climbers. Despite its seemingly moderate Grade 6 (UIAA VI) rating, this route often feels more committing due to its significant exposure and the genuine alpine environment. Located on the impressive Lackenkopf Wall, the 'Affentheater' lives up to its name, which literally translates to 'Monkey Theater' or 'Monkey Business,' hinting at some playful, perhaps gymnastic, sections of climbing. You'll encounter a varied mix of technical slab moves, strenuous crack climbing, and exposed traverses on solid, often grippy rock. Reaching the top offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and a profound sense of accomplishment. It's a demanding but incredibly rewarding adventure that truly tests your skills, nerve, and appreciation for the raw beauty of alpine rock climbing.
