Climbing "Alex die Hex" (rated 6+) on the Upper Diesbachwand is a classic and rewarding experience. The route offers a varied mix of climbing styles, demanding both technique and strength. Expect face climbing with good holds interspersed with slightly overhanging sections that require careful footwork and body positioning. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing solid friction and secure placements. While the route is well-protected with bolts, a few runouts might require thoughtful route finding and a confident lead head. The exposure on the Upper Diesbachwand adds to the excitement, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. A successful ascent is a testament to a climber's skill and determination and a great accomplishment in a beautiful alpine setting.
