Landratte

Climbing "Landratte" (6-) in Röthelstein is a delightful experience, offering a well-protected and enjoyable climb for intermediate climbers. The route follows a prominent crack system up a slightly overhanging wall. The crux is often considered to be the initial moves, requiring a bit of stemming and delicate footwork to gain the first hold above the ground. Once established, the climbing becomes more sustained, with good handholds and reasonable spacing between the bolts. The rock is generally solid and provides excellent friction. The exposure builds gradually as you ascend, providing stunning views of the surrounding Austrian landscape. A satisfying top-out leads to a well-placed anchor, marking the successful completion of a classic Röthelstein route. Be sure to check conditions beforehand, especially after rain, as the rock can become slippery.
