Südwestkamin

The Südwestkamin (Southwest Chimney) on Tiegerturm is a classic and challenging route that demands a strong understanding of chimney climbing techniques. Graded 7+ (UIAA), it offers a physically and mentally engaging experience. The route follows a prominent chimney system up the southwest face of the tower. Climbers will encounter strenuous stemming, squeezing, and back-and-footing maneuvers within the narrow confines of the chimney. Protection is typically good, but placing gear efficiently and securely is crucial, especially in the tight spaces. The crux often involves a particularly awkward or strenuous section within the chimney. Careful planning, solid technique, and a willingness to commit are essential for a successful ascent. The summit of Tiegerturm offers rewarding views and a well-deserved sense of accomplishment.
