Menschen und Mäuse

Climbing 'Menschen und Mäuse' ('Of Mice and Men'), a grade 5 (UIAA) route in the Hochschwab Group, is a rewarding experience for climbers looking for a moderate challenge with stunning alpine scenery. The route likely offers a mix of slab climbing, face climbing, and perhaps some crack or corner sections, demanding solid technique and confident movement. The rock quality in the Hochschwab is generally good, often providing grippy limestone, but careful footwork is always essential. Given the altitude and exposed nature of the Hochschwab, weather conditions can change rapidly, so climbers should be well-prepared with appropriate clothing and gear. The views from the route, particularly towards the surrounding mountains and valleys, are undoubtedly spectacular and make the effort worthwhile. Climbing 'Menschen und Mäuse' provides a great introduction to multi-pitch climbing in the Austrian Alps, offering a fulfilling adventure in a beautiful and challenging environment.
