Walter

Climbing "Walter" (7+) at Hohe Wand is a memorable experience. The route is known for its sustained difficulty, demanding a good level of physical fitness and technical proficiency. Expect powerful moves on steep, slightly overhanging rock, requiring precise footwork and efficient energy management. The crux often involves a challenging sequence near the middle or top of the route, where good crimps and small pockets test your finger strength and problem-solving abilities. Successful ascent requires not only physical strength but also smart route finding, maintaining composure under pressure, and utilizing proper resting positions whenever possible. The exposure adds to the thrill, with stunning views of the surrounding Austrian landscape. A true test piece and a rewarding accomplishment for any climber at the 7+ grade.
