Climbing 'Lapislazuli' (grade 7- UIAA) on the Wetterriffel / Wetterriffl left south wall plate is a truly rewarding alpine experience. This route is renowned for its technical and often delicate climbing on excellent rock. Expect a mix of sustained slab sections, precise face climbing, and potentially some exposed traverses that demand good footwork and a steady head. The grade of 7- indicates a challenging yet achievable ascent for experienced climbers, pushing limits without being overly committing. The rock quality is generally solid, offering good friction, and the exposure on the south wall provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape. After a successful ascent, the descent typically involves rappelling down the route, or a combination of rappels and a walk-off, depending on the specific summit and established procedures. It's a classic in the area, offering a memorable day out.
