Eishöhlenplatte

Climbing the "Eishöhlenplatte" (rated 7/7+) in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a challenging and rewarding alpine rock climbing experience. This route, often translated as "Ice Cave Slab," tests both technical skill and mental fortitude. Climbers face steep, often sparsely protected slabs that demand precise footwork, confident movement, and a thorough understanding of friction climbing techniques. The rock is typically smooth limestone, requiring delicate stemming and smearing. The altitude and exposed nature of the Rax-Schneeberg Group add another layer of complexity, demanding climbers be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions. Success on the Eishöhlenplatte offers a deep sense of accomplishment and stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape.
