Rock Metal Climbing is a short, sunny and well-equipped via ferrata approach to the Anenhütte in Lötschental. The route feels more like an enjoyable mountain outing than a serious climb: it follows polished slabs, crosses a mixed rocky and grassy section, and includes one short steeper passage that is still well protected. With mostly easy ferrata terrain and only a brief harder step, it suits confident beginners who are happy on airy ground and want a scenic way up to the hut.
