Climbing "Wolke 7" (Grade 7+) on the Schüsselkarspitze Westgratturm is a demanding alpine rock climb offering exceptional exposure and stunning views in the German Alps. The route, meaning "Cloud 7," aptly describes the feeling of being high up and immersed in the mountain environment. The rock is generally solid limestone, but climbers should expect some loose sections. The crux is a technical and sustained sequence on the upper pitches, requiring precise footwork and strong fingers. Protection is generally good, with a mix of bolts and natural placements, but careful route finding is still necessary. A full rack of cams and quickdraws is recommended. Due to its exposed position and alpine nature, the climb requires good weather conditions and experience in alpine climbing techniques, including belaying, rappelling, and navigating.
