Climbing 'Plattenzauber' on the Röthelstein SE spur is a demanding and rewarding experience. This route, graded 8- (UIAA), requires solid technique, excellent footwork, and mental fortitude. The crux often lies in the thin smears and precise placements on the slabby rock, hence the name 'Plattenzauber' (Slab Magic). The sustained nature of the route tests endurance as well, making it a true testpiece for any climber aspiring to push their grade on alpine limestone. Be prepared for a committing experience with relatively sparse protection in some sections. Success on 'Plattenzauber' is a testament to a climber's skill and determination in the vertical world.
