Asselweg

Climbing the 'Asselweg' (4+) on the Martinswand is a classic experience. This route, despite its moderate grade, offers a taste of Martinswand's characteristic exposure and demanding rock. The route snakes upwards through a mix of slab, crack, and corner climbing, demanding solid technique and confident footwork. While the climbing itself isn't overly strenuous for experienced climbers, the sustained nature and the ever-present feeling of height can add a mental challenge. Good route finding is essential, as the path isn't always immediately obvious. Expect some sections with loose rock, a common trait of the Martinswand, so be mindful of yourself and your climbing partners. Properly placed gear and a clear head are crucial for a safe and enjoyable ascent. Reaching the top is rewarded with stunning views of the Inn Valley. 'Asselweg' is a great choice for climbers looking to test their skills on a classic, well-protected route with a true alpine feel, without venturing into extremely difficult terrain.
