Climbing the 'Übungsklettersteig Silver Bullet var. C/D' was an exhilarating and highly rewarding experience. As an 'Übungsklettersteig' (training via ferrata), it perfectly lives up to its name, offering an excellent test for those progressing into or wanting to hone their skills on C/D graded routes. The initial sections provide a good warm-up, but the route quickly ramps up in difficulty.
The C/D sections demand sustained arm strength, precise footwork, and a good head for heights. There are steep, almost vertical climbs punctuated by exposed traverses that offer thrilling views. The 'Silver Bullet' part of the name feels fitting; it's a direct, focused challenge, not overly long, but packed with intense moves that push your limits without overwhelming you. The secure rigging provides confidence, allowing you to focus on the technical aspects and enjoy the stunning mountain scenery.
Completing this variation leaves you with a profound sense of accomplishment, improved technique, and a solid understanding of what a challenging C/D grade entails. It's a fantastic training ground for higher ambitions in the world of via ferratas.
