Kroat.-Österr. Freundschaft

I recently had the pleasure of climbing 'Kroat.-Österr. Freundschaft' (Croatian-Austrian Friendship), a classic grade 4 route in the picturesque Gutenstein Alps. This traditional climb offers a fantastic blend of moderate difficulty and stunning alpine scenery. The route, named as a symbol of cross-border amity, truly lives up to its spirit, providing an enjoyable and cohesive climbing experience. We encountered solid rock and engaging sections that required attentive footwork and good route-finding. The exposure was exhilarating but well-managed by the terrain, and the views across the surrounding peaks were breathtaking. It's a perfect choice for those looking for a rewarding day out, combining pleasant scrambling with proper climbing pitches, culminating in a memorable summit experience.
