Climbing 'Walking to the Sky' (Gangs zum Himmel) on the impressive Torsäule is an unforgettable alpine rock climbing experience. Graded 8- (UIAA VIII-), this route presents a significant challenge, demanding sustained physical and mental effort from experienced climbers. The ascent follows exposed and often technical sections on excellent rock, leading upwards through the iconic features of the Torsäule, truly living up to its evocative name. Reaching the summit rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, a profound sense of accomplishment, and the feeling of having touched the sky. The return journey typically involves a series of meticulously managed abseils, carefully descending the steep faces back to the base, completing a classic high-alpine adventure.
