Landro Classica, the oldest crag in Höhlensteintal in the Dolomites
Landro Classica is the oldest crag in the Höhlensteintal, developed back in the 1980's in particular by local climbed Kurt Stauder and his friends. With grades ranging from 4b to 8b+, a short approach and a huge choice of routes, this is always a highly popular
It's interesting to note that Stauder was a strong climber and mountain guide who, back in the day, had climbed with Wolfgang Güllich. At the time the German powerhouse had already climbed several 8a's and since Stauder recognised that Güllich was a far better climber, he graded his hardest routes no harder than 7c. Nowadays some of those early creations are considered solid 8a+...
