"A-Steig" offers a mix of technical slabs and airy traverses, making it a favorite for climbers looking for a varied challenge. The route winds its way up the face of Hohe Wand, requiring climbers to use precise footwork and balance. As you ascend, the exposure increases, adding to the thrill and beauty of the climb.
