Arme kleine Schweine

Climbing 'Arme kleine Schweine' (8-) in the Ennstal Alps is a truly memorable experience. This formidable route, whose name playfully translates to 'Poor Little Pigs', lives up to its UIAA 8- (or French 7b/7b+) grading with sustained, powerful climbing on excellent limestone. Located in the heart of the picturesque Ennstal Alps, the approach itself offers stunning views, building anticipation. The route often features dynamic sequences and technical sections, demanding both strength and precision. The crux, typically a series of small holds or a powerful reach, requires full commitment. As you ascend, the exposure grows, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding peaks and valleys – a perfect reward for the strenuous effort. Sending this route isn't just about the physical challenge; it's also about the mental focus required to execute each move flawlessly. Descending from the summit or anchor, a sense of accomplishment washes over you, reflecting on a fantastic day out on a classic Ennstal line.
