Alpine climbing routes in the St. Anton in Tyrol region

The route in grade 5 difficulty offers beautiful wall climbing, has 10 pitches, and is well protected. Additional protection with nuts and friends is well possible but not strictly necessary. The rock (gneiss) is very grippy but unfortunately not always solid.

The climbing tour Priesterweihe with the exit Messweinorgie leads in 6 pitches through the north face of the church (2778m). In the easier pitches, additional intermediate belays must be placed using crampons and friends.

The Vorderseespitze rises with its massive rock pyramid high above the villages of Pettneu and Schnann in the Stanzertal. In the middle of the rock scenery lies the still quite mighty Vorderseeferner glacier. The ascent via the east ridge is highly attractive due to its views and climbing challenges. The descent through the south gully, which is very crumbly due to wind and water, demands the highest concentration again. Around the Vorderseespitze, geologically especially interesting peaks rise from the green and expansive high plateaus.

Long, exposed, and demanding line on the highest mountain of the Verwall group.
