Schleierkante

Climbing the "Schleierkante" (grade 5+) in the Graz Mountains is a truly rewarding experience. This route, known for its exposed position and sustained difficulty, demands a combination of technical skill, stamina, and mental fortitude. The rock is generally solid limestone, offering excellent friction and plenty of holds, but be prepared for some sections that require precise footwork and thoughtful route finding. The highlight is undoubtedly the airy traverse along the "Schleierkante" itself, where you're suspended high above the valley floor, soaking in breathtaking panoramic views. Careful belaying is crucial, and the route should only be attempted by experienced climbers comfortable with the grade and the exposed nature of the terrain. While the "Schleierkante" is not the longest route in the area, its concentration of quality climbing and spectacular setting make it a memorable ascent.
