Lausbua

Climbing 'Lausbua' (5+) in the Gutenstein Alps, specifically on the iconic Hohe Wand, is a delightful experience for climbers venturing into the realm of moderate sport routes. Graded 5+, it offers a rewarding challenge that is accessible to competent intermediate climbers. The route itself often presents varied climbing on solid limestone, featuring a mix of pockets, crimps, and perhaps some slabby sections, typical of the area. While not overly strenuous, the name 'Lausbua' (meaning 'rascal' or 'naughty boy') hints at a move or two that might require a bit of thought or commitment. Fully equipped with bolts, it allows climbers to focus on the movement and enjoy the exposure. Upon reaching the top, panoramic views of the surrounding Gutenstein Alps are a magnificent reward. It's a classic choice for a reason – a fun, engaging climb that perfectly captures the spirit of sport climbing in this beautiful Austrian region.
