Spiralweg - Stafflacher Wand

Climbing 'Spiralweg' on the Stafflacher Wand is an experience that perfectly blends challenging movement with breathtaking alpine scenery. Graded 7- (UIAA), this multi-pitch route truly lives up to its name, winding its way up the impressive limestone face in a captivating spiral.

From the moment you leave the ground, the solid rock provides excellent friction, but the route demands focused climbing. Each pitch offers its own unique character, from technical slab sections to more athletic moves on small crimps and pockets. The exposure builds steadily, and looking down across the Gschnitztal valley as you ascend provides a constant sense of exhilaration. The well-bolted nature of the route allows you to focus on the climbing, yet the alpine environment ensures a real sense of adventure.

Reaching the summit is a moment of pure satisfaction, rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding Tyrolean peaks. The descent, typically by abseil, offers a final perspective on the impressive scale of the wall you've just conquered. 'Spiralweg' is more than just a climb; it's a journey up a magnificent wall, offering a memorable day out for any climber seeking a rewarding challenge.
