Plattengeiger

The Rax-Schneeberg Group, a stunning limestone massif in Austria, is home to many classic climbs, including the infamous 'Plattengeiger' (7+). Rated 7+ (UIAA), this route is not for the faint of heart, demanding technical precision and mental fortitude. True to its name, 'Plattengeiger' is characterized by its demanding slab climbing. It's a dance on friction, where tiny edges and smears are your best friends, and the exposure grows with every meter. The route requires a delicate balance of trust in your feet and a cool head, especially on the often run-out sections that test your nerve. Reaching the top offers breathtaking panoramic views, a well-deserved reward for an unforgettable and challenging alpine experience.
