Sportherz route

Sportherz route

Description

Already a classic of Alpine sport climbing, it was first climbed as early as 1985. The route extends through prime rock. The majority is either compact rock face or slab climbing. The route was revamped in 2004 to feature solid glue-in bolts. The protection is mostly quite good, but in some passages dedicated lead climbing is required.
