Die weiße Schlange

Climbing 'Die weiße Schlange' (The White Snake), a grade 5+ route in the Bucklige Welt region of Austria, offers a fantastic and rewarding experience. The Bucklige Welt, known for its rolling hills rather than towering peaks, might surprise climbers with its hidden gems like this route. 'Die weiße Schlange' is likely characterized by its white rock face, giving the route its distinctive name.

The climb itself is likely a mix of face climbing and perhaps some small crimps or pockets, typical for the grade. While 5+ is considered moderate, the enjoyment comes from the exposure, the quality of the rock, and the overall setting in the beautiful Austrian countryside. It's a climb where technique and thoughtful footwork are key.

Remember to bring a sufficient rack of quickdraws and a rope appropriate for the route's length. Check recent condition reports, as weather and moss can impact the climb, especially in a lower-altitude area. Most importantly, enjoy the views and the unique climbing experience in the Bucklige Welt!
