What are the best areas and routes to do alpine climbing in August and September? Here's the situation, my girlfriend who lives in Europe has agreed to go climbing with me the next time I come over there. She has never been climbing before so I need to pick a climb that won't scare her to death but that is still fun.
Preferably something that has a touch of backpacking to it but with some pretty good 5.4 equivalent climbing. I need something pretty but easy. She's a "girly" girl so the suffering aspect of climbing needs to be at a minimum. I want climbing to be habit for her like it is for me and not just a one time "sure I'll try it" thing.
I'm leaning towards finding something in Bavaria for no other reason than I have friends there. But... wherever there's something good is where we'll go.
I have one week to play with. Ideas anyone?
