The Säuleck Klettersteig, located in the impressive Ankogel Group of Carinthia, Austria, is a formidable challenge graded D/E. This is not a route for beginners; it demands significant strength, endurance, and a solid head for heights.
Characterized by its long, exposed sections and consistently steep climbing, especially along the notorious 'Tragödienwand,' it truly tests a climber's limits. The route is distinctly alpine, often encountering snow or ice patches even late into the season, adding to its demanding nature.
Reaching the summit rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding high-alpine landscape. The descent typically follows the easier normal route, offering a less strenuous, though still engaging, return.
Undertaking the Säuleck Klettersteig is a serious alpine endeavor, but for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts, it promises an unforgettable and deeply rewarding experience.
