Climbing the "Wacholder - Radsteinkopf - Ewige Wand" route on Predigstuhl (grade 6+) is a memorable experience. The route traverses a significant portion of the Ewige Wand (Eternal Wall), known for its impressive rock formations and exposed positions. The climbing itself is varied, with sections of face climbing, traverses, and perhaps even a small roof or two. The rock quality is generally good, but some sections might require careful footwork and attention to loose rock. Finding the route initially and staying on it can be challenging, requiring solid route-finding skills, especially around the Radsteinkopf (Radstein Head). Proper gear is essential, including a rope, quickdraws, and potentially a set of cams or nuts for protection. The views from the route are stunning, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding Dachstein region. Expect a physically and mentally demanding climb that rewards you with a sense of accomplishment and unforgettable scenery. Preparation, good weather conditions, and a reliable partner are crucial for a safe and enjoyable ascent.
