Peter Pfad

Climbing the "Peter Pfad" (6+) on the Hohe Wand is a memorable experience. This classic route offers sustained, exposed climbing on solid limestone. The crux section often involves tricky footwork and powerful pulls, demanding good technique and stamina. The views from the route are spectacular, showcasing the vast plains surrounding Hohe Wand. While not overly long, the "Peter Pfad" provides a challenging and rewarding climb for experienced climbers at the grade, requiring a solid head for heights and confident movement on steep terrain. Proper protection is essential, and a good understanding of Austrian sport climbing ethics is recommended. Be prepared for potential crowds, especially on weekends, and consider an early start to secure a spot.
