Sonntagsarbeit

Climbing 'Sonntagsarbeit' (Sunday Work), graded 7- (UIAA), on the Oberreintalturm is a quintessential alpine rock experience in the stunning Wetterstein Mountains. This multi-pitch classic truly lives up to its name, demanding significant effort for a Sunday outing. Known for its sustained and technical climbing on excellent limestone, the route offers a comprehensive alpine challenge.

The approach itself, leading into the remote and imposing Oberreintal, sets the stage for a grand adventure. Once on the route, climbers are treated to exposed pitches, intricate sequences, and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. While generally well-protected for an alpine route, 'Sonntagsarbeit' requires a good head for heights, solid technique, and experience with alpine environments. Completing it is not just about mastering the grade; it's about the full package: the long day, the exposure, the magnificent scenery, and the deep satisfaction of conquering such a demanding and beautiful line. It's a true test piece and a memorable ascent for any aspiring alpine rock climber.
