Wöitroas - Ewige Wand

Climbing 'Wöitroas - Ewige Wand' (grade 6/6+) on the Predigstuhl is an experience that truly lives up to its evocative name. This route, a 'World Journey' up the 'Eternal Wall,' offers a quintessential alpine climbing adventure. From the outset, its 6/6+ grading promises a sustained challenge, demanding precision, endurance, and a cool head across its numerous pitches.

The rock quality is generally excellent, providing varied climbing from delicate slabs and technical face sections to powerful cracks and corners. Exposure is a constant companion, especially higher up the 'Ewige Wand,' where the views expand dramatically, revealing the breathtaking panorama of the surrounding Berchtesgaden Alps.

Each pitch is a journey in itself, an unfolding sequence of movements that tests strength, balance, and nerve. The atmosphere is one of profound tranquility mixed with intense focus, a true high-alpine escape. Reaching the summit, after navigating the intricate dance of the 'Wöitroas,' brings a deep sense of accomplishment, a memory etched against the backdrop of the vast mountain landscape.
