Climbing "Zinkenecho" (6+) on Zinken is a classic alpine experience that demands a good head for heights and solid climbing skills. The route winds its way up the impressive rock face, offering stunning views of the surrounding Dachstein mountains. The 6+ grade implies sustained climbing with some challenging moves, requiring good technique and finger strength. Expect exposed sections, requiring confident movement and precise footwork. Protection is generally good, but there can be runouts between bolts, especially on easier terrain, so a well-placed cam or two can be reassuring. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing secure holds, but always pay attention to loose rock, especially in the gully sections. Be prepared for a long day, as the approach and descent can be time-consuming. Overall, "Zinkenecho" is a rewarding climb for experienced alpinists looking for a demanding and memorable adventure in a breathtaking setting.
