The 12 Apostelgrat on Säuling is a classic and exposed ridge traverse in the Allgäu Alps. Rated UIAA grade 4, it's a challenging but rewarding climb for experienced mountaineers. The route involves exposed scrambling, short climbing sections, and stunning views. The limestone rock can be polished in places, requiring careful footwork. Proper gear, including a helmet, harness, rope, and appropriate climbing shoes, is essential. Experience with alpine climbing and secure movement on exposed terrain are crucial for a safe ascent. Expect approximately 6-8 hours for the complete traverse, depending on conditions and experience. The descent typically follows the normal route from Säuling's summit.
