Muttertag

Climbing "Muttertag" (Mother's Day) in Nockberge is a truly rewarding experience for any climber operating at the 7+ (French grading) level. The Nockberge mountains, known for their gentle slopes and stunning panoramic views, might not immediately spring to mind when thinking of demanding climbing routes, but "Muttertag" proves to be a notable exception. The route itself is typically characterized by technical face climbing, requiring precise footwork, delicate crimping, and sustained power endurance. Expect sequences of small holds, interspersed with the occasional, but often challenging, crux moves. The rock quality is generally excellent, offering solid friction, although polish in certain areas is not uncommon due to its popularity. The ambiance is unparalleled, climbing high above the green pastures of the Nockberge, with vistas stretching across the Carinthian landscape. Be sure to check weather conditions beforehand as the mountains can be unpredictable. A confident lead climber at the 7+ grade, with a solid mental game, will find "Muttertag" to be a memorable and satisfying tick.
