Turriwand

Climbing the Turriwand (5+) in the Graz Mountains is a rewarding adventure that combines challenging rock climbing with stunning alpine scenery. The route, typically multi-pitch, demands a good level of physical fitness and solid climbing technique. Expect varied climbing styles, including face climbing, cracks, and potentially some slabby sections. The rock quality can vary depending on the specific route variation, so paying close attention to holds and placements is crucial. Protection is generally considered good, but bringing a standard rack of cams and nuts is recommended to supplement fixed gear. The ascent offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Graz Mountains, making the effort well worth it. Be sure to check weather conditions before heading out, as alpine weather can change rapidly. A descent usually involves rappelling or a combination of rappelling and downclimbing, so familiarity with these techniques is essential. Overall, climbing the Turriwand is a memorable experience for experienced climbers seeking a moderate alpine challenge in a beautiful setting.
