Grüne Verschneidung

Climbing the 'Grüne Verschneidung' (Green Corner/Chimney) on the impressive 'Zauberwand' is a truly classic experience for any alpinist. Graded at a solid 4, it offers a challenging yet incredibly rewarding ascent. The route lives up to its name, following a beautiful corner system that often feels 'green' from moss or lichen in certain sections, adding to its unique character. The climbing itself is varied, featuring sustained friction sections, classic crack moves, and some surprisingly exposed passages that demand good technique and a steady head. Each pitch unfolds new vistas of the surrounding peaks and valleys, making the 'Zauberwand' truly live up to its 'Magic Wall' moniker. The crux, typically a specific tricky corner or a more sustained steep section, requires precision but is always manageable for the grade. Topping out provides an immense sense of accomplishment, followed by a well-deserved descent, often via thrilling abseils, completing an unforgettable day in the mountains.
