Eiszeit

Climbing "Eiszeit" (graded 8+/9-) at Hohe Wand is an experience that etches itself into memory. This route is a test piece of the area, demanding a combination of technical prowess, power endurance, and mental fortitude. The crux often involves intricate footwork on polished limestone, requiring laser focus and precise movement. The holds, while generally good, can be surprisingly slopey, forcing you to maintain constant tension. Above the crux, the climbing eases slightly, but the pump is real. It's a sustained effort to the top, making the final clip a welcome relief. Successfully sending "Eiszeit" is a testament to dedication and a rewarding achievement in a stunning alpine setting.
