Höhlenquergang

Climbing the 'Höhlenquergang' (grade 6) on Hohe Wand is a truly memorable experience. The route itself traverses a unique cave system, demanding a combination of technical skill, body tension, and mental fortitude. The rock is generally solid, but the holds can be polished in places due to its popularity. The exposure is significant, adding to the adrenaline rush as you navigate the horizontal path through the cave. Finding the right foot placements and maintaining a smooth, controlled flow is key to success. The crux often lies in the initial moves, requiring precise footwork and a good understanding of body positioning. The views, when you get a chance to peek out, are breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding Austrian landscape. It's a climb that rewards careful planning, a steady head, and a willingness to embrace the slightly claustrophobic and undeniably adventurous nature of cave climbing. Definitely a must-do for any climber looking for a challenging and rewarding route on Hohe Wand.
