Eau

Climbing "Eau" (5+) in the Wetterstein Mountains and Mieminger Chain is a rewarding experience that offers stunning views and engaging climbing. This classic route, typically found on the lower to mid-height crags within the region, provides a good introduction to the characteristic limestone climbing of the area. Expect vertical or slightly overhanging faces, often with pockets, crimps, and the occasional jug. The rock quality is generally excellent, though always be mindful of loose rock, especially on less frequented sections. The 5+ grade implies a moderate level of fitness and some prior experience with sport climbing. Route finding is usually straightforward, though be sure to read the topo beforehand and pay attention to bolt spacing. A standard rack of quickdraws is usually sufficient, but a longer rope (60m or longer) might be beneficial, depending on the specific route. Remember to check the weather forecast before heading out, as conditions in the mountains can change rapidly. Overall, climbing "Eau" is a great option for those looking for a well-protected and enjoyable climb in a spectacular alpine setting.
