District 9

Climbing 'District 9' (grade 6-) in the Gutenstein Alps, specifically at Hohe Wand, is a rewarding experience. This classic limestone route offers excellent sport climbing on good rock. The grade of 6- (UIAA) makes it accessible for competent climbers while still providing a good challenge, especially on its more sustained pitches. The route is typically well-bolted, ensuring a relatively safe ascent, but still demands precise climbing technique and strategic clipping. As you ascend, the exposure increases, opening up fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains – a true highlight. Finishing 'District 9' leaves you with a sense of accomplishment, having navigated its engaging moves and enjoyed the stunning alpine scenery. It's a testament to the quality of climbing in this beautiful Austrian region.
