Johann Klettersteig
Ferrata
The Johann Klettersteig is an especially interesting and diverse, though long and very difficult via ferrata. The beginning of the via ferrata is a key section, forcing many a climber to turn back, though the rest of the route is very manageable. This via ferrata requires very good physical condition! A 700 m steel cable and more than 250 pegs accompany you up this difficult rockface.
Comments:
The physical demands should not be underestimated, compounded by alevations over 2000 m above sea level. Especially in the middle section, there is a danger of rockslides! The via ferrata ends directly behind the Seethalerhütte on the Dachsteinwarte. This via ferrata is not suitable for childern or inexpirienced climbers.
Times:
- Via Ferrata - 3:00 h
- Time to Base - 2:00 h
- Time from Top - 0:30 h
- Total - 5:30 h
