Var. zu Nr. 19

Ascending 'Var. zu Nr. 19' (UIAA 4+) in the rugged and majestic Totes Gebirge is a quintessential alpine climbing experience. This moderate yet engaging route offers a fantastic introduction to traditional multi-pitch climbing in the region. Characterized by solid limestone – though typical for the Alps, always be mindful of loose sections – and often sparse but adequate protection, it demands good route-finding skills and a steady head for heights. The grade of 4+ signifies a climb that, while not extreme, requires confident movement, particularly on exposed sections and slabby terrain. Reaching the top after navigating the pitches provides breathtaking panoramic views of the 'Dead Mountains' – a truly rewarding and memorable day out for those seeking classic alpine adventure.
