Oben ohne

Climbing "Oben ohne" (graded 6/6+) in Vorarlberg is a memorable experience. This route, whose name playfully translates to "Topless," often offers challenging and exposed climbing on solid limestone.

Expect technical footwork, thoughtful route reading, and a healthy dose of commitment. While the grade suggests a solid intermediate level, the exposed nature of some sections can add a psychological challenge.

Successfully topping out on "Oben ohne" in Vorarlberg will undoubtedly reward you with a sense of accomplishment and stunning alpine views.
