Geierweg

Climbing the Geierweg (5+) in the Zsigmondy is a demanding but rewarding alpine adventure. The route itself is known for its exposed traverses, sustained climbing, and excellent rock quality. Expect varied terrain, from slab climbing to steep cracks and corners. Careful route finding is crucial, as the markings can be sparse in places. A solid 5+ climber will find the difficulties engaging, but anyone approaching their limit should be prepared for a long day with significant exposure. The views from the route are spectacular, encompassing the dramatic peaks of the Zsigmondy group. Be sure to bring ample water and snacks, and allow plenty of time for the ascent and descent. Proper alpine gear, including a helmet and harness, is essential. Consider the weather forecast carefully before committing to this route.
