Winetou

Climbing "Winetou" (grade 9-) in Hohe Wand is a serious undertaking and a true test of physical and mental strength. This iconic route is known for its sustained difficulty, technical climbing, and exposure. The rock is typically grippy limestone, but often polished in crucial sections due to its popularity. Expect powerful moves on small crimps, demanding stemming, and precise footwork. Maintaining composure on the exposed face is paramount, especially near the crux. A successful ascent of Winetou is a badge of honor for any climber seeking to push their limits in the Austrian Alps.
