Kreuzotter: one hard move, easier otherwise
The 8+ is a single move. The rest of the route sits noticeably below it.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The 8+ is a single hard move, the rest is considerably easier.
Routes like that are hard to grade and harder to compare. The number in the guidebook describes the hardest move, not the route — and anyone choosing by the number gets something other than what they expected.
It’s good regardless. You climb up to it relaxed, have a moment where it matters, and then it’s calm again.
