Südost-Kante

Climbing the "Südost-Kante" (Southeast Ridge) of the "Südwand" (South Face) at a grade of 6+ is a challenging and rewarding alpine adventure. The Südwand, known for its imposing scale and demanding routes, offers a serious test of skill, endurance, and mental fortitude. The Südost-Kante, in particular, is a popular choice for experienced climbers seeking a sustained and exposed climb. Expect to encounter steep rock, tricky route finding, and potentially variable weather conditions. Protection will likely be a mix of traditional placements and possibly some fixed gear. A successful ascent requires solid technique, a cool head, and meticulous planning. The views from the summit, however, are often breathtaking and well worth the effort.
