Climbers of the very highest ability will confirm that the Hall-Wattens region is a veritable haven for mountaineers.

 

Heinz Zak, the Tyrol's exhibition climber, loves the mountain areas: The Tyrol-based extreme mountaineer cannot contain his enthusiasm: "What is so remarkable about the Karwendel is the Halleranger area.  It's a crazy, almost primeval area. Hanging off the north wall is a very special experience, as is inhaling the fragrant mountain pastures and hearing the sound of cow-bells."

This does not sound like your "typical" climbing experience. This is something very special.

 

The rocks are good, most of the tours are secured, and in those sections without anchor holes it's easy to get roped in. The classic routes are in the difficulty category 6, but there a few easier ones in the 4 or 5 region.

If you fancy tackling some extreme mountaineering, you could try some of Zak's routes at level 8 or 9.

There are no fewer than seven rock climbing centres in that part of the Karwendel mountains, all within the Hall-Wattens region.
