Climbing 'Windspiel - Höllmauer' (6+) is a classic experience in the Gesäuse region, offering a fantastic blend of challenge and breathtaking alpine scenery. The route's name, 'Windspiel' (Wind Play/Game), perfectly encapsulates its airy and exposed character on the impressive Höllmauer wall. Despite its moderate grade of 6+, it provides sustained, enjoyable climbing on excellent, grippy rock. Climbers will navigate a variety of features, including slabs, cracks, and some steeper sections that keep the ascent engaging. The views from the wall are simply magnificent, especially on a clear day, stretching far across the surrounding peaks and valleys. It's a highly recommended climb for those seeking a rewarding day out, combining good physical challenge with stunning vistas and a tangible sense of exposure.
