Zum Teufel jagen

"Zum Teufel jagen" (meaning "Chasing the Devil" or "Hunting the Devil") is a renowned climbing route graded 6+ (UIAA) located in the picturesque Gutenstein Alps, a popular climbing region in Lower Austria. Typically found on one of the many limestone crags, often associated with the Hohe Wand massif or specific sectors like Kanzel, the climb itself is characteristic of the region's rock: often vertical to slightly overhanging, demanding precise footwork and good technique. The 6+ grade suggests it's a solid mid-range challenge, requiring sustained effort and potentially some thought-provoking sequences. Climbers can expect sharp edges, small pockets, and sometimes polished sections from years of traffic. Despite its popularity, it remains a rewarding ascent, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding alpine landscape and valleys. It's a true test for climbers comfortable at this grade and a memorable experience in a stunning natural setting.
