Climbing 'Gebrochene Rippe' (Broken Rib), a grade 7 route in Plattkopf, is a test of both physical and mental fortitude. The Plattkopf itself, known for its exposed rock and challenging terrain, adds to the adventure. 'Gebrochene Rippe' likely presents a series of technical problems, including delicate footwork, precise hand placements, and potentially sustained sequences requiring endurance. Expect steep sections and possibly some demanding reaches. The name itself suggests a route with prominent ribs or cracks, likely dictating the style of climbing – perhaps crack climbing, stemming, or a combination of techniques. Successfully sending 'Gebrochene Rippe' on Plattkopf would be a proud accomplishment for any climber at that grade.
