Dachstein Gams klettersteig - Austria - videoPlay
The Dachstein Gams is a new via ferrata route on Krippenstein. It has three parts: Himmeleck (A/B), Gams (C), and Nordwand (E). Because it was my first time here, I only completed the first two sections.

The extremely difficult North face was left for another time. I probably could have done it, but I decided to train for it some more. However, the Iron Chamois (Gams) is a very photogenic creature (creation), it stands still, while being photographed, and it loves selfies. :-)
