Birthday surprise

recommended route Difficulty VIII-, 6c+ difficult

6:54 h

1,276 m

1,275 m

The route seeks out the most beautiful and logical line through the best rock of the Gehrenspitze south face. The route is secured in a plaisir-like manner and no additional mobile belays are necessary. The route climbs directly to the summit cross.

The south-west pillar is a classic tour, which was straightened a little during the renovation work and thus received a significant upgrade, not only in terms of difficulty.

Premium content Difficulty V+ moderate

The "Via Anita" dries quickly due to its south-facing location and offers enjoyable climbing in the lower to medium difficulty range. The tour leads over surprisingly steep, grippy rock.

The "Pavelas" is certainly not one of the "must-do" tours in the Tannheim mountains, but it is certainly a good way to fill the day after one of the other south face tours.
