Ruhig Blut

Climbing "Ruhig Blut" (8-) on the Hohe Wand is a formidable and rewarding experience. The route, whose name translates to "Keep Calm," perfectly reflects the challenge it presents. Expect sustained power endurance climbing on steep, slightly overhanging limestone. Crucial to success are the precise foot placements needed to navigate the polished sections and the consistent application of tension. The crux is a sequence of powerful moves on small crimps and pockets, requiring a delicate balance of strength and technique. Finding the right beta for this section is key. The mental game is equally important as the physical. Staying calm and focused, especially when pumped, allows for better decision-making and more efficient movement. Reaching the anchor is a moment of pure satisfaction, knowing you've conquered a demanding and iconic climb. The panoramic views from the top, overlooking the Austrian landscape, are an added bonus and a well-earned reward for the effort.
