Climbing "Lärcha Riss - Wagnerplatte" (7) in Wagner is a memorable experience. This route, known for its exposed slab and demanding crack, presents a unique challenge to climbers. The approach itself might involve a bit of a hike, typical of the Wagner area. The climb begins with the crack, requiring precise placements and powerful pulling. As you transition onto the slab (the "Wagnerplatte"), the difficulty increases significantly. Friction becomes your best friend as you rely on subtle footwork and delicate handholds. Exposure is a major factor here, adding to the mental game. Successfully navigating the "Wagnerplatte" and topping out on "Lärcha Riss" provides a rewarding sense of accomplishment. A solid 7 climber will find it challenging yet attainable, while those pushing their grade will find it a true test of skill and composure. The views from the top are often spectacular, making the effort worthwhile.
