The "Fiehrer Weg" on the "Obere Diesbachwand" (Upper Diesbachwand) is a renowned and demanding multi-pitch alpine climbing route, graded at 7+ (UIAA VII+). This classic line offers a significant challenge for experienced climbers, characterized by its steep, exposed pitches on excellent, albeit sometimes sharp, limestone. The route demands not only high technical proficiency and physical fitness but also strong mental fortitude, good route-finding skills, and the ability to place traditional protection, as fixed gear can be sparse between belay stations (though stances are typically bolted). Ascending "Fiehrer Weg" is a true alpine adventure, rewarding climbers with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountainous landscape and a profound sense of achievement upon completion. Descent typically involves multiple abseils.
