The ascent of the 'Hahnenkamm-Zinne - Peilstein' route in Peilstein is a classic Grade IV (UIAA) multi-pitch climb, offering an accessible yet engaging rock climbing experience. Rated for its varied terrain, it presents sections of slabs, cracks, and more exposed pitches, all on generally solid rock with good holds. It's an excellent choice for climbers looking to progress beyond easier routes or enjoy a moderately challenging day out in a beautiful setting. The views from the top are spectacular, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding Peilstein area and the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods). While not overly strenuous, the route requires competence in rope management, belaying techniques, and confident movement on rock. The descent typically involves a combination of abseiling (rappelling) and scrambling, leading back to the base of the wall. Climbing Hahnenkamm-Zinne is a rewarding adventure, combining the thrill of the ascent with the serene beauty of the Austrian landscape.
