V-Stil in Pfaffenleiten is a route that demands respect. Graded 6+ (UIAA), it's a test of both technical skill and mental fortitude. The crux lies in the distinct V-shaped overhang which gives the route its name. Gaining purchase on the initial holds requires careful footwork and a controlled body position. You'll need to maintain precise contact strength to navigate the undercling features within the V. The rock is typically solid, but pockets of loose material are possible, so careful observation is crucial. After the overhang, the angle eases somewhat, leading to a more sustained section of crimps and edges. Good route-finding is essential here to avoid tiring out prematurely. The final moves to the anchor are relatively straightforward but require focus to avoid a sloppy finish. Overall, V-Stil is a rewarding climb, offering a memorable experience for any climber solid at the 6+ grade. Bring a good head, strong fingers, and be prepared for a challenging yet enjoyable ascent.
