Oberreintal 2-day alpine climbing course

Do you want to start alpine climbing? This 2-day course in the Oberreintal is just for you! In fact, this small and remote valley near Garmisch, in Germany, is one of the best rock climbing spots in the country. 

I like it very much because it has a lot of history. Climbers began to come here in 1920 and everything still looks like in the past.

It has some classic climbing routes like ‘Gonda‘ and ‘Schober‘, which are VI grade tours. However, only a few people come to this area.

The starting point of this climbing course will be the Franz-Fischer-Hütte, a small mountain hut at 1532 m, that has been visited by several well-known climbers in the past.

We’ll be climbing among level III to IV routes (or even higher), on solid and rough limestone rocks.

Besides, you’ll receive a complete training, including security techniques, stand construction, how to plan a climbing tour, technical equipment knowledge, abseiling and how to improvise a rescue in the mountain (rope extension, techniques).

The first day of the itinerary will be all for training. On the second day we’ll go on a climbing tour to Milka, the lower mountain ghost tower (IV) or maybe to Oberreintallturm-Westwand Radlkante (V-).

I recommend this place for a short climbing trip during a weekend. You also have to consider there’s a 2 to 3 hours hike to the hut.

Please contact me if you want to start alpine climbing in this amazing German spot. I will be very happy to be your guide there!
