Climbing the Irg II (2) Klettersteig, graded C/D, is a significant and rewarding alpine challenge. This isn't a route for beginners; its C/D rating signifies sustained difficulty, often involving steep vertical sections, exposed traverses, and possibly short overhangs or very strenuous passages. Climbers can expect a well-secured but demanding ascent using fixed steel cables, iron rungs, and possibly ladders. It demands good arm strength, excellent stamina, sure-footedness, and a solid head for heights. The exposure can be considerable, adding to the mental challenge. The thrill of navigating such a route is immense, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains as a well-deserved reward. Proper Klettersteig equipment (harness, Klettersteig set, helmet, gloves) is absolutely essential, and prior experience on easier via ferratas is highly recommended. Completing Irg II is a testament to one's alpine capability, leaving a lasting sense of accomplishment.
