Hercules

Climbing 'Hercules' (grade 6+) in the Nonsberg Group offers an unforgettable alpine experience, testing skill and nerve amidst stunning Dolomites-like scenery. This demanding route, renowned for its sustained difficulty and often exposed pitches, traverses excellent quality limestone. The 6+ grade signifies challenging moves, requiring precise footwork, strong finger strength, and keen route-finding abilities, particularly as protection can be sparse in places, necessitating reliance on traditional gear placements. Each pitch builds anticipation, leading to spectacular views over the Nonsberg Valley and the surrounding rugged peaks. Reaching the summit after overcoming 'Hercules' is immensely rewarding, a testament to the climber's perseverance and a deep connection with the raw beauty of the Southern Rhaetian Alps. It's a classic for good reason, pushing climbers to their limits while providing an immensely satisfying ascent.
