Über die Uhr

Climbing "Über die Uhr" (Grade 4-) in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for beginner to intermediate climbers. This route, whose name translates to "Over the Clock", likely features some interesting rock formations or a characteristic passage that resembles a clock face. Given the grade, climbers can expect relatively straightforward climbing with good holds and manageable exposure. The Gutenstein Alps themselves offer stunning scenery, adding to the overall enjoyment.

While specifics of the climb would depend on the exact location and the route itself, typically a 4- route involves sections of vertical or slightly overhanging rock, requiring the use of good footwork and hand placement. Protection will likely be a mix of bolted anchors and opportunities for placing your own gear.

For those planning to climb "Über die Uhr", it's crucial to check current conditions, bring appropriate gear (rope, harness, helmet, climbing shoes, quickdraws, and potentially some trad gear), and climb with a competent partner. Be sure to research the route beforehand using a guidebook or online resources to understand the specific challenges and hazards. A 4- in the Gutenstein Alps promises a satisfying and scenic climb.
