Einstürzende Neubauten

Climbing "Einstürzende Neubauten" (grade 7+) in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a committing and exposed alpine undertaking. This route, named after the iconic German industrial band, is characterized by its challenging crux sequences, demanding technical skills, and often loose rock. Expect powerful crimps, precarious traverses, and sustained vertical climbing on typically solid, but sometimes crumbly limestone. The difficulty isn't just in the individual moves; the altitude, exposure to the elements, and the necessity for efficient rope management all contribute to the overall seriousness of the climb. It requires a strong head, solid experience on alpine rock, and a partner you trust implicitly. Thorough research of current conditions and a flexible approach are crucial for a successful and safe ascent. The stunning panoramic views from the top are a worthy reward for the effort, but remember the descent can be equally challenging.
