Keep the red flag flying

Climbing "Keep the Red Flag Flying" (10-) in Hohe Wand is an experience that stays with you long after you've reached the top. The route is a test of both strength and technique, demanding precise footwork and powerful pulls. The rock is generally solid, but there are sections where you need to be mindful of loose holds. The crux is often cited as the sustained sequence in the middle, requiring a good mix of crimping and stemming. Successfully navigating that section unlocks the rest of the climb, which continues with sustained difficulty until the anchor. Reaching the top offers a stunning view of the surrounding landscape, making the effort entirely worthwhile. It's a climb that requires respect, preparation, and a healthy dose of determination.
