The West Ridge route on the Sauspitz is a demanding but highly enjoyable climb, characterized by solid rock, exposed sections, and a varied terrain. Expect a mix of scrambling, easy climbing, and more challenging passages that require careful route finding. The grade 3+ sections usually involve short, well-protected steps, but the overall length of the route and the alpine environment demand good fitness and mountaineering experience.
