Climbing "Kozelweg - Rax" (graded 8-) is a serious undertaking in the Austrian Alps. This route, located on the Rax plateau, is known for its exposed position, sustained difficulty, and requirement for precise technique. The 8- grade indicates it is challenging, demanding both strength and mental fortitude. Climbers should expect vertical or even slightly overhanging sections, small holds, and complex sequences. Good physical conditioning, experience on similar routes, and a strong head for heights are essential. The views from the Rax are spectacular, making a successful ascent incredibly rewarding, but the commitment required means proper preparation and assessment of conditions are absolutely critical.
