Dir. Einstieg

Climbing 'Dir. Einstieg' (6) in the Tennen Mountains is a rewarding experience, demanding both technical skill and a good head for heights. The Tennen Mountains themselves provide a stunning backdrop, with their dramatic karst landscape adding to the adventure. 'Dir. Einstieg', as the name suggests, is a direct start to a longer route, and while graded 6, it often feels steeper and more exposed than one might expect. The rock is generally solid limestone, offering good friction but also requiring careful footwork and efficient movement. Expect a mix of crimps, pockets, and possibly some sloping holds. The initial crux sections often involve overcoming small overhangs or vertical steps, demanding thoughtful route-finding. The sustained nature of the climb means stamina is key, especially considering the altitude and potential for fatigue. The views from the top are breathtaking, providing a panoramic vista of the surrounding peaks and valleys, making the effort all worthwhile. Proper gear, a reliable partner, and a thorough understanding of the route are essential for a safe and enjoyable ascent.
