Südostgrat in trail-running shoes
Moving together over the Vordere Karlspitze. Rock shoes wouldn't have improved the day.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
Mid-November, good weather, and a route you don’t need rock shoes for.
We set off in trail-running shoes and moved together the whole way. On a 4+ that’s exactly the right call — belay every pitch here and you spend half the day handing gear over instead of climbing.
Good ridge, good day, no drama. Not every route needs a story.
