Bär

Climbing 'Bär' (German for 'Bear'), a route graded 6 in the Zillertal Alps, is a rewarding experience for intermediate climbers. The route typically offers a mix of well-featured slabs, challenging overhangs, and exposed traverses. The rock is usually solid granite, providing excellent friction. Climbers should expect sustained climbing with good but sometimes spaced bolts. A solid level of fitness and good technical skills are required to successfully complete 'Bär'.

The Zillertal Alps themselves provide a stunning backdrop for the climb. Towering peaks, lush alpine meadows, and crystal-clear lakes create a truly unforgettable environment. The approach hike can be demanding, so be sure to factor that into your planning. Proper gear, including a 60m rope, quickdraws, and appropriate climbing shoes, is essential. Always check the weather forecast before heading out and be prepared for changing conditions. After a successful ascent, the sense of accomplishment, combined with the breathtaking views, makes climbing 'Bär' a highlight of any climber's trip to the Zillertal Alps.
