The 'Ostgrat und Ostwand' (East Ridge and East Face) of Totenköpfl – Reichenstein is a delightful alpine climb, typically graded III (UIAA). Located in the impressive Totenköpfl / Reichenstein area, this route serves as an excellent introduction to alpine terrain. It beautifully combines exposed ridge scrambling with more technical, yet enjoyable, face climbing sections on generally good rock. The moderate difficulty makes it ideal for climbers new to multi-pitch alpine routes or experienced hikers eager to venture into graded climbing. The exposure along the ridge is exhilarating without being overly committing, and the panoramic views from the summit are truly spectacular, making the entire experience incredibly rewarding and memorable. It's a highly recommended classic for its balanced challenge and stunning scenery.
