Schneesturm

Ascending 'Schneesturm' (7+/8-) in the picturesque Graz Mountains is an unforgettable experience that truly lives up to its evocative name, meaning 'blizzard'. This route, a test piece in the local climbing scene, winds its way up a demanding limestone face. The grade of 7+/8- indicates a sustained challenge, with sections requiring precise footwork, powerful crimps, and thoughtful body positioning. The crux often involves navigating a subtle overhang or a sequence of particularly small holds, demanding both physical strength and mental fortitude. Despite its 'stormy' difficulty, reaching the top offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Styrian landscape. It’s a rewarding climb that pushes your limits and leaves you with a profound sense of accomplishment.
