Merlins Crack

Merlins Crack, a notorious 7+ (UIAA) test piece, stands as one of the most iconic and demanding crack climbs in the Bucklige Welt region of Austria. This isn't just about raw strength; it's a ballet of precise finger, hand, and fist jams, often requiring sustained effort and excellent technique. The route is relentless, pushing climbers to master the unique challenges of crack climbing. Despite its difficulty, or perhaps because of it, sending Merlins Crack is a deeply satisfying experience, a true benchmark for any climber seeking to hone their crack skills amidst the rolling hills of the Bucklige Welt.
