Calypso

Climbing "Calypso" (6+) at Martinswand is a rewarding experience that demands both physical and mental strength. The route, known for its sustained difficulty and exposed position, offers incredible views across the valley. The rock is typically solid limestone, but holds can be polished in places, requiring careful footwork and precise hand placements. Cruxes involve powerful sequences on small crimps and the need to maintain composure on sustained, slightly overhanging sections. A well-placed gear set is essential as runouts can occur between bolts. Reaching the summit and clipping the anchors provides a significant sense of accomplishment, knowing you've tackled a challenging and beautiful climb in a classic alpine setting.
