Climbing "Kurzurlaub - Ewige Wand" (grade 5) on the Predigstuhl is a rewarding experience that combines moderate technical challenges with stunning alpine scenery. The route, aptly named "Short Vacation - Eternal Wall", offers a taste of multi-pitch climbing in a relatively accessible setting. Expect well-protected pitches, mostly slabby terrain, and exposure that gradually increases as you ascend. The rock quality is generally good, though some sections may require careful footwork. A 50-meter rope is recommended for comfortable rappels on the descent. The views from the summit are breathtaking, encompassing the surrounding Dachstein mountains and the valleys below. While the grade is relatively low, stamina and confident movement are still essential for a safe and enjoyable climb. Remember to check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, as alpine conditions can change rapidly.
