Hochkönig Tous Escalade traditionnelle 2 voies en falaise

It goes first three pitches with Dientenerweg, then it turns left and goes up. There is a single bolt at each belay and occasional bored pitons in the route, but 15m run-outs with no protection possible in grade 5-6 are common.

Exposed, beautiful climbing in perfect rock, gymnastic moves high above protection and overall esthetics make this a unique legendary climb that everyone talks about, but few climbs it.

A really scenic and easy route on the south face of Hochkönig. Rock is mostly solid, some pitches are on rumble terrain.

Approach on Birgkar steig then some minor glacier traverse. Depending on knowledge most pitches can be freed. Climbing took us 6 hours with 4 rope-climbed pitches.
