Goldader - Röthelstein-Breite Wand

Scaling 'Goldader' on the Röthelstein-Breite Wand is an adventure into the heart of Styrian climbing. Graded at a challenging 7- (UIAA), this multi-pitch route truly lives up to its name, feeling like a discovery of a 'gold vein' of excellent rock and engaging moves. The 'Breite Wand' itself, a prominent feature of Röthelstein, provides a dramatic backdrop.

Climbers can anticipate a diverse range of challenges: technical slabs demanding precise footwork, exhilarating vertical sections with solid holds, and possibly even some slight overhangs that test power and endurance. The limestone is generally solid, offering secure placements. As you ascend pitch by pitch, the exposure grows, opening up increasingly breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding alpine valleys and peaks. While a 7- grade requires proficiency, the route is typically well-equipped with bolts, ensuring a safe yet thrilling ascent for competent lead climbers. It's a rewarding journey that combines physical exertion with immense natural beauty, culminating in a profound sense of achievement at the top.
