On June 26, 1938, shortly after midnight, Brahm and three others took a train from Zagreb to Gračac.
From there, they hired a car to Obrovac where they boarded a boat for Starigrad. At 3 a.m. the next day, they hiked into Paklenica gorge to the foot of the 350 m high Anića kuk face. After a six-hour climb and about 3/4 of the route completed, Brahm fell 8 metres (26 ft), his head bouncing off the rock and his body landed in squat position on the ledge where his belaying partner was. Despite the rescue effort - the other two went for help to Starigrad and came back with mule loaded with 300 metres (980 ft) of fishermans rope - it turned to be all in vain as Brahm was dead already due to severe skull fracture.
Once his partner unbelayed Brahm's corpse, already dead Brahm leaned backwards and fell again, this time the entire length of the Anića kuk face.
In the two years following the accident, no other climbing attempt in Paklenica occurred. On the 2nd anniversary of Brahm's death (June 27, 1940), Marijan Dragman/Drago Brezovečki party completed the unfinished job. The route was named in honor of Brahm. These days, the Brahm route is considered the classic, and it is the oldest climbing route at the entire Paklenica climbing site.
