Climbing "Des Kessels neue Kleider" (roughly translated to "The Kettle's New Clothes"), a route graded 7 on the Stadelwand, part of the Schneeberg massif, is a challenging and rewarding alpine experience. The route is known for its exposed positions, technical climbing, and stunning views. Expect sustained climbing on solid limestone, with a mix of face climbing, crimps, and perhaps some stemming. The route demands good technique, stamina, and mental fortitude due to its sustained nature. Proper gear, including a sufficient rack of quickdraws, slings, and potentially a small set of cams for gear placements, is essential. Before attempting the route, ensure you have checked the weather conditions and avalanche risk, as the Stadelwand is an alpine environment. Successfully sending "Des Kessels neue Kleider" is a great achievement for any experienced climber.
