Sunshine Reggae mit BSE06-Einstieg - Schluchtpfeiler - Maltatal

The route 'Sunshine Reggae mit BSE06-Einstieg' on the Schluchtpfeiler in Maltatal offers a thrilling and demanding alpine sport climbing experience. Located in the famed granite and gneiss climbing paradise of Maltatal, the Schluchtpfeiler is a prominent pillar known for its superb, exposed rock.

'Sunshine Reggae' is considered a modern classic, celebrated for its sustained and high-quality climbing. The 'BSE06-Einstieg' (entry) variant elevates the challenge significantly, plunging climbers immediately into technical and physically engaging 7+ terrain right from the start. While typically well-bolted, the climbing remains intricate and requires a confident approach.

Climbers can expect a fantastic mix of varied gneiss climbing: positive holds, delicate slab sections, and occasional crack systems. The pitches are continuously interesting, often offering breathtaking exposure as you ascend the pillar. Protection is generally good with bolts, but in true 'alpine sport' style, the spacing can be a bit more spread out in easier sections, demanding a solid lead head.

Reaching the summit of the Schluchtpfeiler via this route is immensely rewarding. The panoramic views of the Maltatal and surrounding peaks are spectacular. It's an excellent choice for strong, experienced climbers who are comfortable with multi-pitch routes and the demands of sustained 7+ climbing in an exposed, alpine-like setting.
