Hühnerbrust - Rote Wand

Climbing 'Hühnerbrust - Rote Wand' (grade 7+) in the majestic Gesäuse National Park, Austria, is an unforgettable experience for any seasoned rock climber. This iconic route, often considered a true classic of the region, presents a demanding challenge with its sustained difficulty and exposed pitches. Graded 7+, it requires excellent technique, endurance, and a cool head for the airy sections. The limestone rock offers superb friction, but the climbing is consistently steep and technical, pushing climbers to their limits. The 'Hühnerbrust' itself, a prominent feature on the wall, often marks a particularly memorable and exposed section. Reaching the summit after conquering this magnificent line offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Gesäuse peaks and an immense sense of accomplishment. It's a route that demands respect and rewards richly.
