Climbing the "Südpfeiler Rabenköpfe" (South Pillar of the Raven's Heads), graded 5/5+, in the Rabenköpfe is a classic alpine experience. The route is known for its sustained climbing on solid rock, demanding good technique and stamina. Expect exposed positions, particularly on the arete sections. Finding the optimal line can sometimes be a puzzle, requiring careful route finding and occasional deviations from the original line due to variations in rock quality or previous climbers' paths. Protection is generally good with a mix of bolted anchors and opportunities for placing your own gear. Overall, it's a rewarding and challenging climb that offers stunning views from the summit of the Rabenköpfe. Preparation, experience in alpine climbing, and a solid understanding of belaying techniques are essential for a safe and enjoyable ascent.
