Kletterbrüderpfad - Hohe Wand - Teufelsgrat

Climbing the "Kletterbrüderpfad" on the "Teufelsgrat" in Hohe Wand is a true classic and a memorable experience. Graded 5- (UIAA), it offers a fantastic journey through the Hohe Wand's characteristic limestone, combining technical challenges with incredible exposure.

The route, whose name translates to 'Climbing Brothers' Path' on the 'Devil's Ridge,' lives up to its moniker. The 'Teufelsgrat' section is particularly airy and exhilarating, demanding a cool head and confident movement over steep, exposed rock. While the grade of 5- might seem moderate, the multi-pitch nature, the sustained exposure, and the need for good route-finding skills elevate it to a proper alpine-style adventure.

Each pitch presents its own unique challenge, from delicate slab moves to more physical crack climbing, all while offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Wienerwald and beyond. Reaching the summit, after navigating the ridge, provides a immense sense of accomplishment, making the effort entirely worthwhile. It's a testament to the Hohe Wand's appeal – an accessible yet utterly rewarding climbing destination close to Vienna.
