Hahntennjoch / Anhalterhütte - Heiterwand
Sure-footedness is essential when approaching the routes. As these are climbing routes in an alpine setting, it is important to take the necessary precautions and ensure you have the appropriate equipment (helmet, etc.) for such climbs. It is also recommended avoiding the climbing area for a few days following heavy downpours, due to increased erosion and the risk of rockfalls.
The beautiful high-alpine crag known as the Heiterwand is situated near the Anhalterhütte. The Heiterwand – strictly speaking, the northern cliffs of the Maldongrat, which rise to a height of around 600 metres – consists of a compact, steep rock face. The routes (some of which are multi-pitch) run through solid, pitted limestone.
Its north-facing exposure makes it ideal for the hot summer months.
