Climbing 'Cinderella' (graded 3+) in the Stubai Alps is a delightful introduction to alpine rock climbing. This route, likely located in the Kalkkögel mountains within the Stubai Alps, offers stunning views and a moderate challenge suitable for climbers with some experience.
Expect well-protected pitches, typically with bolts, allowing for a safe and enjoyable ascent. The rock is generally solid limestone, providing good friction. While the grade is moderate, be prepared for exposure and sustained climbing. Navigation is usually straightforward, but always consult a guidebook or topo.
The best time to climb 'Cinderella' is during the summer months (June-September) when the weather is most stable and the snow has melted. Always check the weather forecast before heading out and be prepared for sudden changes in conditions. Proper alpine gear, including a helmet, harness, climbing shoes, rope, quickdraws, and appropriate clothing, is essential.
Climbing 'Cinderella' provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the beauty and thrill of alpine climbing in a breathtaking setting. Remember to respect the environment and leave no trace.
