Kleeblatt

The 'Kleeblatt' (Cloverleaf) route on the granite walls of the Zillertal Alps offers a classic alpine climbing experience at a moderate grade of 5+ (UIAA). It's a popular choice for climbers looking to test their skills on solid rock with stunning views. The route typically involves a mix of slab climbing, cracks, and sometimes even a short traverse.

Expect well-bolted sections, but don't be surprised to encounter some runouts, especially on easier sections. A good understanding of placing your own gear can be beneficial, although not strictly necessary for the entire route. The routefinding is generally straightforward, but paying attention to the topo is always recommended.

One of the highlights of climbing 'Kleeblatt' is the incredible scenery. The Zillertal Alps provide a breathtaking backdrop, with views of glaciers, jagged peaks, and lush valleys. The approach typically involves a hike, often passing through alpine meadows and scree fields, adding to the overall alpine adventure.

Overall, 'Kleeblatt' is a rewarding climb that combines good rock quality, moderate difficulty, and stunning alpine scenery. It's an excellent choice for intermediate climbers looking to gain experience in the mountains or for more experienced climbers seeking a enjoyable and scenic day out. Remember to check weather conditions, pack appropriate gear, and be prepared for an alpine environment.
