Mild und trüb

Climbing 'Mild und Trüb' (translated as 'Mild and Murky') on the iconic Hohe Wand in Austria is a quintessential experience for climbers in the 6+ range. The route is known for its sustained technical climbing on typically solid limestone, demanding a good mix of strength, technique, and route-reading skills. While the grade is consistent, the varied holds and often slightly overhanging sections ensure a challenging and rewarding ascent.

Expect features like crimps, pockets, and the occasional small roof pull. Protection is generally good with well-spaced bolts, making it relatively safe for climbers confident at the grade. However, a few runouts might keep you on your toes. The exposure provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape, adding to the overall experience.

'Mild und Trüb' is a popular route, so expect potential crowds, especially on weekends. It's advisable to arrive early or choose a less busy day. Overall, it's a fantastic climb that offers a great taste of Hohe Wand's limestone quality and a memorable adventure for those looking to push their limits in a beautiful setting.
