Kletter- & Boulderführer Maltatal

Climbing & Bouldering Guide Maltatal

Since the first edition of the climbing guide was published in 2015, the Maltatal has developed from a former insider tip to a real top spot. And not without reason: it offers a wide range of first-class climbing and bouldering opportunities. With the new, completely revised 2nd edition, a comprehensive and up to date guide for this wonderful valley with its fantastic goals is published.

No matter if you're zapping on Christoph Rauch's boulder test piece "The Source" (Fb 8b+) in the romantic Valley of the Kings, letting the "White Winds" (6c) on the Yellow Secret blow around your ears, or sniffing high alpine air on the Plaisir ridge of Langkarscheid (IV+): there's something for almost everyone in the Valley of Falling Waters.

Families and multipitch beginners will enjoy the pleasure of the lake district's pleasure routes (max. V+) and the dam high arena. Child-friendly, flat meadows at the entrance and a via ferrata for beginners (A/B) offer potential for the whole climbing family.

Three additional areas just outside the gates of the Maltatal give the climbing guide a whole new dimension: the Breitwand with its multi-pitch routes and the Jungfernsprung - Seaclimbs directly above the water - at Lake Millstätter See provide a gentle contrast to the inner-alpine Maltatal. And with the Danielsberg near Kolbnitz another Malta break day can be filled if required.

Gerhard Schaar has collected all relevant information for vertical adventures in the valley of falling water in the categories bouldering, sport climbing & alpine climbing. On 336 pages (100 new pages!) he presents more than 500 sport climbing pitches on 23 massifs, about 300 bouldering problems as well as all techno and alpine routes worth mentioning.
