Weiße Verschneidung

Climbing "Weiße Verschneidung" (White Dihedral) is a truly classic experience, typically graded around 6- (UIAA). It's a route that demands respect, not just for its technical challenges but also for its exposed positions and often, variable snow and ice conditions. Depending on the season, the "Weiße Verschneidung" can present everything from relatively dry rock climbing to sections covered in neve or even hard, brittle ice. The crux usually involves navigating a sustained section of steep, often thin, cracks and corners, requiring solid footwork and confident handholds. Protection can be tricky to place well in the sometimes inconsistent rock. Above the technical crux, the exposure intensifies, demanding careful movement and a good head for heights. The overall feeling is of a serious alpine climb packed into a relatively short package. It's a climb best approached with a partner you trust implicitly and with a thorough understanding of alpine climbing techniques.
