Turmwurm

Climbing 'Turmwurm' (5+) in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for intermediate climbers. This route, often sought after for its solid rock and interesting climbing features, provides a good test of skill and stamina. The ascent typically involves a mix of face climbing, stemming, and occasional traversing. The exposure is moderate, offering glimpses of the stunning Gutenstein Alps scenery. While not overly strenuous, 'Turmwurm' requires good footwork and confident movement on vertical terrain. A solid grasp of 5+ climbing techniques and the ability to place gear adequately (depending on whether it's a bolted or trad route, and the presence of runouts) are essential for a safe and enjoyable climb. Reaching the summit offers a sense of accomplishment and panoramic views that make the effort worthwhile.
