Edika

Climbing "Edika" (7-) in the Gutenstein Alps was a demanding but incredibly rewarding experience. The route follows a steep, often overhanging line of pockets and crimps on solid limestone. The crux involves a powerful sequence through a particularly blank section, requiring precise footwork and a high degree of finger strength. Exposure is significant, adding to the mental challenge. The views from the top, however, are breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista of the surrounding Alps. Successfully sending "Edika" felt like a true accomplishment, a testament to training and perseverance in a stunning alpine environment.
