Climbing 'Carpe Diem' on the 'Ewige Wand' of Predigstuhl is an experience that truly lives up to its name. This classic route, graded 6/6+, is a masterpiece of alpine sport climbing, offering sustained challenges and breathtaking exposure. From the moment you start up the limestone, you're enveloped in the majesty of the 'Eternal Wall.' Each pitch presents its own unique puzzle: a delicate slab demanding precise footwork, a steep, airy crack, or a wonderfully exposed traverse that makes you feel utterly suspended in the void. The 6+ cruxes are demanding but fair, rewarding good technique and a calm mind. As you ascend, the panoramic views of the Salzkammergut unfold beneath you – shimmering lakes, verdant valleys, and a sea of peaks. The rock quality is generally excellent, providing reliable holds and secure placements. Reaching the top, after navigating its vertical challenges, fills you with a profound sense of accomplishment. 'Carpe Diem' isn't just a climb; it's an adventure that demands you seize every moment, every hold, and every breathtaking view. A truly unforgettable ascent.
