Climbing 'Pain is a Myth' (7+) on the Untere Diesbachwand is a demanding and rewarding experience. This route lives up to its name, testing both physical and mental fortitude. The rock is typically solid limestone, offering a mix of crimps, slopers, and occasional pockets. The crux likely involves a sequence of powerful moves on small holds, requiring precise footwork and body positioning. The exposure is moderate, adding to the psychological challenge. Successful ascent requires a high level of fitness, technical skill, and unwavering determination. Expect a good pump and a feeling of accomplishment upon clipping the chains at the top. Be sure to properly assess the route and your abilities before committing, and always climb safely.
