Saubauch

Climbing 'Saubauch' (Grade 6) on the 'Schwarze Platte' is an iconic experience for any climber seeking a challenging yet rewarding ascent. This route, aptly named 'Pig's Belly,' is renowned for its distinctive, slightly overhanging bulge that constitutes its crux. The climb demands precise footwork and powerful, sustained moves on solid, often dark rock. Navigating the 'Saubauch' itself requires commitment, often involving a sequence of reachy pulls or delicate balance. Upon reaching the summit, climbers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The descent is typically a thrilling rappel directly down the route or via an adjacent fixed line, allowing for a final appreciation of the rock face and the successful climb. It's a truly memorable achievement.
