Felssturz

Climbing 'Felssturz' (grade 6-) at Peilstein is a truly classic experience that embodies the charm of this popular Lower Austrian climbing area. On a crisp, sunny day, the limestone of Peilstein always feels inviting. 'Felssturz' itself is a beautifully sustained route; it's not a single tricky move but rather a continuous flow of technical climbing that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The grade of 6- feels just right – challenging enough to demand focus and good technique, yet always manageable, making it incredibly rewarding. As you ascend, the exposure builds, offering increasingly stunning views over the Wienerwald. The holds are generally positive, but require precise footwork and body positioning. Reaching the anchors at the top, the feeling of accomplishment, combined with the panoramic vista, is pure satisfaction. It's a testament to why 'Felssturz' remains a must-do for climbers visiting Peilstein.
