Steig daneben

Climbing 'Steig daneben', a formidable Grade 7 route in the heart of Sektor MITTE, is an experience I won't soon forget. The approach to this central sector often buzzes with activity, setting a vibrant scene. The route itself immediately demands focus; the initial moves are surprisingly delicate, requiring precise footwork on slick pockets. As you ascend, the limestone reveals its character – sustained sequences on small crimps and thoughtful slab sections intersperse with a couple of pumpy reaches. The true crux, nestled halfway up, is a brilliant technical puzzle involving an awkward mantel or a series of powerful, balancy moves, depending on your beta. Overcoming it feels like a small victory. The final few meters are less strenuous, allowing you to enjoy the exposure and the expansive views over the valley before clipping the chains. It's a route that truly tests your mental fortitude as much as your physical strength, delivering a profound sense of accomplishment upon completion.
