Climbing Via Angelika (7) on Hohe Wand is a truly memorable experience. This route, etched into the impressive limestone face of Hohe Wand, demands respect and skillful movement. The climbing is characterized by its sustained difficulty, requiring solid technique and good endurance. Expect powerful pulls on crimps and pockets, interspersed with delicate footwork on small edges. The crux is often described as a technical sequence on the upper wall, where precise body positioning is key. The exposure is significant throughout, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Austrian landscape. Successfully navigating Via Angelika provides a great sense of accomplishment, solidifying its place as a classic climb within the Hohe Wand region. Remember to check weather conditions before heading out, as the face is exposed and conditions can change rapidly. A well-maintained quickdraw set, a confident partner, and a strong mental game are essential for a safe and enjoyable ascent.
