The 'Serpentini' route on the Wetterriffel's right south wall plate is a true gem, offering an exhilarating alpine climbing experience at a respectable grade of 7-. The name 'Serpentini' perfectly describes its winding nature, with pitches that weave elegantly up the imposing limestone, demanding precise footwork and a cool head. Each section presents its own challenge, from delicate slab moves to powerful sequences on small crimps and pockets, characteristic of the Wetterstein limestone. Protection is generally good, though some sections require confidence in your lead and a steady hand. The exposure builds with every meter gained, culminating in breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape from the summit. Completing 'Serpentini' is not just a physical feat but a deeply rewarding mental journey, leaving you with a profound sense of accomplishment and unforgettable memories. It's a must-do for any experienced climber looking for a classic alpine challenge in a stunning setting.
