Märchenprinz

Climbing "Märchenprinz" (Grade 7) on Hohe Wand is a truly memorable experience. The route, whose name translates to "Fairy Tale Prince," lives up to its enchanting moniker. The rock is solid limestone, typical of the Hohe Wand, but the climbing style requires a delicate balance of technique and power. Cruxes often involve tricky footwork on small edges and thoughtful body positioning to overcome slightly overhanging sections. The exposure is considerable, adding to the thrill. From the belay stances, the views are breathtaking, stretching across the vast plains and rolling hills of Lower Austria. Success on this route is a rewarding accomplishment, solidifying your skills and leaving you with a sense of satisfaction that echoes the fairytale-like beauty of the Hohe Wand.
