Climbing area Aurachkarplatten

The Aurachkarplatten in the Höllengebirge offer an interesting climbing opportunity on rough rock slabs.

Characteristics

The Aurachkar Slabs are located across from the Grenzeck and offer beautiful climbing on sloping slabs as well as in and along water channels. The rock is mostly rough and eroded by water.

Due to the northwestern exposure, the sun doesn’t reach the walls until the afternoon. The routes are well-protected. Rappel is possible with a 50-meter double rope.

Approach

Duration: about 35 minutes

From the Taferlklaussee parking lot, the approach follows hiking trail No. 826 toward the Hochleckenhaus. Shortly after the St.-Georgs-Bründl with its wooden trough, the trail makes a sharp turn to the right.

At this point, trail marks continue straight ahead. The approach then follows a gravel gully uphill to the base of the wall.
