Zwielichtig

Climbing 'Zwielichtig' (6+) in Hohe Wand is a memorable experience. The route's name, which translates to 'Twilight' or 'Shady,' perfectly captures the atmosphere often found on the Hohe Wand's north-facing walls. The climb itself is a classic Hohe Wand testpiece at its grade. Expect demanding moves on slightly overhanging terrain, requiring good technique and solid finger strength. The rock is typically well-featured with pockets and crimps, but can also be polished in places, demanding precision. Careful footwork is essential to conserve energy. The views from the route are, as always on the Hohe Wand, breathtaking, offering a panorama of the surrounding Lower Austrian landscape. Be prepared for a potentially crowded crag, especially on weekends, as Hohe Wand is a popular destination. 'Zwielichtig' is a worthwhile climb for any experienced climber looking for a challenging and rewarding experience in a stunning setting.
