Reifeprüfung

Climbing "Reifeprüfung" (grade 7-) on the Hohe Wand is a rewarding and challenging experience. The route, located on the impressive limestone cliffs of the Hohe Wand plateau in Austria, is known for its sustained difficulty and exposed positions. Prepare for technical climbing, requiring precise footwork, powerful crimping, and good route-finding skills. The rock quality is generally excellent, offering solid holds, but be aware of potential polish in some areas due to its popularity. The route offers fantastic views of the surrounding landscape, making the effort well worthwhile. It's recommended for experienced climbers comfortable leading at the 7- grade or pushing their grade on well-protected, but demanding routes. A good level of fitness and stamina are essential to enjoy the climb to its fullest. Bring a standard rack of quickdraws and potentially a longer sling or two for wandering pitches. Double-check the weather forecast before heading out, as the Hohe Wand can be exposed to sudden changes in weather.
