Mordstrum

Climbing 'Mordstrum' (grade 6+) on the 'Platte' face is an experience that truly tests a climber's mettle. Rated 6+ in the Saxon grading system, this route lives up to its formidable name ('Murder-Colossus'). It's renowned for its exposed sections, intricate technical cruxes, and often significant run-outs that demand absolute precision, mental fortitude, and a deep trust in friction. Each pitch unfolds with a unique challenge: delicate slabs requiring perfect footwork, powerful crack sections, and airy traverses that offer breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. The crux, often a smooth, almost featureless slab, feels like dancing on glass, requiring faith in every small ripple and precise body positioning. Reaching the summit after hours of sustained, concentrated effort is a moment of pure triumph and relief, etched against a backdrop of endless sky. 'Mordstrum' isn't just a climb; it's a profound journey into the heart of committed rock climbing, leaving an indelible mark on those who dare to conquer it.
