Off road Buggy

Climbing the 'Off Road Buggy' route (Grade VI UIAA / approx. 6a French) in Hohe Wand, Austria, is a fantastic experience for any intermediate to advanced climber. This multi-pitch route on the characteristic limestone offers sustained and engaging climbing through a series of well-bolted pitches.

The 'Off Road Buggy' starts with a demanding first pitch, setting the tone for the rest of the climb. Expect varied terrain, including slabs, short steeper sections, and some exposed traverses that provide breathtaking views over the Schneeberg-Rax massif and the surrounding Vienna Alps. The rock quality is generally excellent, typical for Hohe Wand, and the route is well-equipped, allowing climbers to focus on the movement and the stunning exposure.

Upon successfully completing the route and reaching the summit, the return is typically a pleasant walk-off. A well-marked path, often through charming forest terrain, leads climbers comfortably back down to the valley floor or a nearby hut, such as the Hubertushaus or Alpengasthof Postl. This walk-off allows for a relaxed debrief of the climb, enjoying the alpine scenery without the need for complex abseiling, making it a very popular and rewarding choice.
