Climbing the 'Ostweg' on the Preinerwandplatte is a rewarding experience, offering a classic grade 5 alpine rock climb in a beautiful setting. The route generally follows a well-defined line up the slab, featuring enjoyable and varied climbing. While not overly strenuous, consistent movement and careful route finding are required. The rock quality is generally good, but some sections can be polished. The crux sections typically involve steeper steps or delicate traverses, requiring good footwork and a calm head. Ample protection is generally available in the form of bolts, but bringing a small rack of cams and nuts for supplementing is recommended, particularly on longer pitches. The exposure increases as you ascend, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Be prepared for a full day of climbing, and ensure you check weather conditions before heading out. Proper alpine equipment, including a rope, harness, helmet, and appropriate footwear, is essential. Overall, 'Ostweg' is a fantastic route for experienced climbers looking for a moderate alpine adventure.
