Eichenbaumweg

Climbing the Eichenbaumweg (Grade 5 UIAA) in the majestic Hochschwab Group is a quintessential alpine experience. This classic route offers excellent climbing on solid limestone, navigating a series of pitches that challenge and delight. Known for its engaging character, the Eichenbaumweg presents a mix of slab climbing, cracks, and occasional steeper sections, all within a magnificent mountain amphitheatre. While the grade 5 is moderate by alpine standards, it demands good technique, efficient rope management, and a solid understanding of traditional protection. The reward for your efforts is not just the satisfaction of reaching the top, but also the breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged Hochschwab peaks and the sprawling Styrian landscape. It's a true test of alpine climbing skill and a memorable journey.
