Wasserrillen + Nose

International > Europe > Germany > Oberbayern > Crags > Berchtesgadener… > Karlstein

Description

Two crags separated by a gully in the middle. Wasserrillen is the closest of all of the crags to the road. It offers 10 routes ranging in difficulty from UIAA 5+ through 10- (though that route is actually harder). Right of the gully is Nose, an 8- put up by Alex Huber in 1986 and its variation, Isis, which is a 5.13b. The routes further to the right are all easier, the easiest being Rotpunktriss (UIAA 6).
The climbing follows small holds and crimps on its compact limestone surface. The popular Wasserrillen is extremely polished, and is possibly the only route where you could use a sling or stopper. The rest of the routes are well-bolted.

Getting There

Follow the main description. This crag is accessed by following the first trail to branch off right from the main trail for 30m or so.
