Gmahde Wiesn

Climbing 'Gmahde Wiesn' (literally 'Mowed Meadow'), a route graded 7, in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a demanding but rewarding experience. The route is likely characterized by technical climbing, requiring precise footwork, strong fingers, and good route-finding skills. Expect challenging cruxes and potentially exposed sections. The rock type in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is primarily limestone, which can offer both solid holds and polished, slippery sections depending on the specific area and the amount of traffic the route has seen.

Preparation is key. Ensure you have the necessary gear, including a rope (ideally at least a 60m single rope, but check the route specifics), quickdraws, slings, and personal protection. Checking weather conditions is crucial, as the Rax-Schneeberg Group is known for its variable weather. Be prepared for sudden changes in temperature and potential thunderstorms. A detailed topo (route guide) is highly recommended, as route finding can be tricky in places.

The Rax-Schneeberg Group offers stunning views and a true alpine experience. However, it's important to remember that it is an alpine environment, and respect for nature and other climbers is paramount. Leave no trace, be aware of your impact on the environment, and enjoy the climb!
