Graded at a comfortable 3 (UIAA), it's a relatively accessible route, but shouldn't be underestimated. The route features enjoyable scrambling and climbing on solid rock, with good exposure in places, especially near the top. The Südkante provides fantastic views of the surrounding valley and mountains. Expect some grassy ledges and occasional loose rock. It's generally well-protected with bolts, but bring a small rack of cams and slings to supplement protection where needed. Proper route-finding skills are crucial, particularly during the descent. Consider taking a guidebook or checking online resources beforehand to avoid getting off route. Overall, the 'Steingrubenwand Südkante' is a great choice for a pleasant and scenic day of climbing in the Austrian Alps.
