Prima Ballerina

Climbing "Prima Ballerina" (grade 7) in the Hochschwab Group is a memorable experience. This route, often described as sustained and technical, demands solid finger strength and precise footwork. The Hochschwab's characteristic limestone offers challenging holds, often requiring delicate stemming and careful weight distribution. The exposure adds to the thrill, especially higher up where the views of the surrounding peaks are breathtaking. Successfully sending "Prima Ballerina" is a rewarding accomplishment, a testament to both physical and mental fortitude in a stunning alpine setting. Prepare for a full day of climbing, as the approach and the route itself can be time-consuming. Don't forget appropriate gear, including a sufficient number of quickdraws, a rope that's long enough for the pitch lengths, and a helmet. Weather in the Hochschwab can change quickly, so check the forecast beforehand and be prepared for anything.
