Fritz the cat

Climbing 'Fritz the Cat' (9+) in the Graz Mountains was an unforgettable experience. This route, renowned for its sustained difficulty at the 9+ grade, truly tested my limits. The steep, often slightly overhanging sections demanded precise footwork and strong finger endurance. Each move felt critical, yet the well-placed holds offered just enough purchase to keep pushing upwards. The views of the surrounding Graz Mountains were stunning, a perfect backdrop to such a demanding climb. Reaching the anchors was a moment of immense satisfaction and relief. 'Fritz the Cat' is a true classic and a testament to the quality of climbing in this region. After a brief rest, we rappelled down, already planning the next challenge.
