Türme - 50 exposed climbing routes (German), guidebook

Anyone who loves exposure will find exactly the right adventures in Stefan Stadler's lavishly illustrated book with text and topo descriptions. It features inherently exposed climbing routes on 50 rocky towers – from Saxon sandstone to Meteora conglomerate, from the granite of Mont Blanc to the gneiss just outside Vienna.

Among them are well-known must-climb destinations like the Guglia di Brenta in the Brenta Dolomites or the Fiamma in the Bergell Valley. There are also peaks you've heard of, or at least seen before. But there are also several bizarre crags that will even make the expert take notice. Nadelspitzen? Höllengebirge?

A particularly nice touch: the majority of the routes are german grade 4 and 5. This collection of routes is therefore not just for browsing, admiring in awe, and wistfully putting back on the shelf, but for following along and doing it yourself.

On your marks, get set, go!
