Climbing the iconic 'Richterkante' (Richter Ridge) on Stadelwand, graded 5+ (UIAA), is an quintessential alpine experience in the Gesäuse mountains of Austria. This multi-pitch route is celebrated for its fantastic exposure along a prominent, airy ridge and excellent, grippy limestone. Each pitch offers breathtaking views, making it a highly sought-after classic. While the technical grade of 5+ is moderate for experienced climbers, the route demands good alpine awareness due to its length, often exposed positions, and the potential for rapid weather changes. It's a truly rewarding adventure, offering a taste of traditional alpine climbing with an unforgettable backdrop.
