The Richterweg on Stadelwand, part of the magnificent Schneeberg massif, stands as a classic multi-pitch alpine rock climbing route, typically graded UIAA V. This route is a popular and rewarding objective for climbers seeking a quintessential alpine experience. It offers varied climbing, encompassing slabs, cracks, and more exposed sections, predominantly on good limestone. While technically demanding for its grade, requiring solid footwork and a comfortable approach to exposure, it also necessitates good route-finding skills typical of alpine terrain. The panoramic views of the surrounding Schneeberg landscape throughout the ascent are truly spectacular. Upon completion, descents often involve a combination of rappelling and walking. The Richterweg represents a rewarding challenge and a memorable day in the Austrian Alps.
