Climbing the Ratengrat Normalweg, a classic Grade III route in the Wetterstein Mountains, is an unforgettable experience for any aspiring alpinist. This scenic ridge climb offers varied challenges suitable for intermediate climbers looking to transition to multi-pitch routes. The Ratengrat Normalweg typically involves solid rock, airy traverses, and short, steeper sections, all while providing stunning panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. While the Grade III indicates moderate difficulty, it still requires good rope management skills and comfort with exposure. After a successful ascent of the ridge, the descent often involves rappelling or scrambling back down, adding to the adventure. It's a truly rewarding and memorable day out in the Alps.
