Climbing 'Balkon (Variant D)' offers a classic and rewarding experience for climbers of moderate ability. Graded 'D', it typically involves a mix of exposed traverses, possibly some slab or crack climbing, leading to or utilizing the distinctive 'Balkon' feature – a prominent ledge offering spectacular views. Variant D suggests a specific, perhaps more direct or scenic, line among other options. This climb is known for its exposure and requires careful movement, but it's generally well-protected. Reaching the Balkon itself provides a sense of accomplishment, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape. It's a memorable route, often chosen for its balance of technical challenge and breathtaking scenery, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a classic alpine or sandstone experience.
