Climbing 'Saubär' (grade 6- UIAA) in Wiese G (East) offers a delightful and classic sport climbing experience for those consolidating their skills at the lower intermediate grades. Located on the east-facing sector, it often catches the morning sun, making for pleasant conditions.
The route itself is typically characterized by solid, positive holds on good quality limestone. While not overly steep, it demands attention to footwork and body positioning, particularly through a few more technical sections. There isn't usually one single hard crux, but rather a sustained sequence of engaging moves that keep you thinking. You'll find a mix of crimps, pockets, and some generous jugs, making it varied and fun.
'Saubär' is often praised as a very well-bolted route, contributing to a sense of security as you ascend. It’s an excellent choice for a warm-up, a confidence builder, or simply a thoroughly enjoyable climb that delivers precisely what a 6- should: a challenging yet accessible journey up the rock, culminating in a satisfying top-out with often beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
