Neuhauskante

Climbing the "Neuhauskante" (7-) in the Gutenstein Alps is a classic alpine experience, demanding respect and delivering stunning rewards. The route, known for its sustained difficulty and exposed positions, winds its way up impressive limestone rock. You'll need solid technique, especially in crack climbing and precise footwork, to navigate the crux sections. Good gear placement is crucial, as some pitches can be sparsely protected. The airy traverse and final headwall require commitment and a calm head. While not excessively long, the sustained nature of the climbing will test your endurance. The views from the top, stretching across the Gutenstein Alps, are simply breathtaking and make the effort worthwhile. Be prepared for a full day on the wall, check the weather forecast carefully, and ensure you have a competent partner. The "Neuhauskante" is a route that will stay with you long after you've descended.
