Kurt Krenns Wampen

Scaling 'Kurt Krenns Wampen,' a formidable 8+ sport climb nestled within Austria's picturesque Nockberge mountains, is an unforgettable challenge.

The 'Wampen' (paunches/bellies) lives up to its name, featuring sustained, overhanging sections that test both power and endurance. Every move is precise, requiring meticulous footwork and a strong core to navigate the small crimps and technical sequences. The exposure is breathtaking, offering panoramic views of the idyllic alpine landscape, making the intense physical and mental battle all the more rewarding. To clip the chains on this masterpiece is to experience the raw satisfaction of pushing one's limits amidst unparalleled natural beauty.
