As you ascend, the exposure builds, offering increasingly spectacular panoramic views over the unique rolling peaks and vast forests of the Nockberge Biosphere Park. It's a journey that combines technical climbing with the profound beauty of the high mountains. The quality of the rock is generally excellent, and while the climbing is sustained, it is incredibly rewarding. A successful ascent of 'Free Tibet' leaves you with a deep sense of accomplishment and memories of truly wild, untouched nature. Descent usually involves a combination of rappels and a walking path, bringing you back down into the serene valleys.
