Climbing the "Hinterholz" route (graded 5 in the UIAA scale) on Hohe Wand is a classic experience. This route, popular for its accessibility and moderate difficulty, offers fantastic exposure and stunning views across the surrounding landscape. The rock is generally solid, providing good holds and making it a rewarding climb for intermediate climbers looking to push their limits. Expect a mix of slab climbing, small overhangs, and some enjoyable traversing sections. While technically not overly demanding, good footwork and route-finding skills are beneficial. The route is typically well-bolted, minimizing the need for extensive gear placement. Always check the condition of the fixed gear before relying on it. Be prepared for potential crowds, especially on weekends and holidays. Remember to bring sufficient water and sun protection, as the exposed nature of the climb can be challenging, particularly during warmer months. Descend carefully following the marked trails or rappel options after reaching the summit. The feeling of accomplishment after topping out, combined with the breathtaking scenery, makes "Hinterholz" a memorable climb on Hohe Wand.
