Abendrot

Climbing 'Abendrot' (8-) in the Graz Mountains is an experience that beautifully encapsulates the charm of sport climbing in this region. The route, named 'Evening Glow,' certainly lives up to its poetic title, especially when tackled late in the afternoon as the sun dips. It's a classic example of limestone climbing – a sustained challenge demanding precise footwork, strong fingers on crimps, and often dynamic moves. The rock quality is generally excellent, offering solid holds and intricate sequences that keep you engaged from start to finish. As you ascend, the views over Graz open up, providing a stunning backdrop to the physical exertion. Reaching the anchors, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, provides a deep sense of accomplishment. 'Abendrot' isn't just about the grade; it's about the dance with the rock, the breathtaking scenery, and the perfect culmination of a day spent in vertical pursuit.
