Verlängerung

Climbing 'Verlängerung' (grade 5+) in the Hochschwab Group is a quintessential alpine experience. Located in the heart of Styria's rugged Hochschwab massif, this classic multi-pitch route ascends magnificent limestone rock. Graded 5+ (UIAA), 'Verlängerung' offers a challenging yet rewarding climb that tests both technique and mental fortitude. It's not a fully bolted sport route; expect a mix of fixed anchors and opportunities for traditional gear placements, demanding a good grasp of alpine climbing skills and route finding. The exposure is palpable, especially on the airy pitches, and the panoramic views of the surrounding peaks are simply breathtaking. Reaching the top provides a deep sense of accomplishment, truly immersing climbers in the wild beauty of the Hochschwab. It's a must-do for those seeking a true alpine adventure.
