Proj.

Climbing 'Proj.' at Hohe Wand is a challenge I won't soon forget. The name itself suggests the nature of the climb - a project, something requiring dedication, patience, and multiple attempts. While the exact grade remains elusive (I'm not giving away all the secrets!), it's definitely within the upper range of difficulty found on the Wand. The route involved a technical start with delicate footwork and precise hand placements on small crimps. This led to a powerful crux sequence featuring a dynamic reach to a sloping hold, followed by strenuous pulling to overcome a small roof. After that, the climbing eased off slightly, but remained sustained and mentally demanding, requiring careful route finding and efficient energy management to reach the top. The exposure on Hohe Wand adds to the experience, with breathtaking views stretching across the surrounding landscape. Sending 'Proj.' was incredibly rewarding, a testament to persistent effort and a reminder of why I love climbing. It's a must-try for any experienced climber seeking a demanding and memorable ascent in a beautiful location.
