Maria Trippel-Weg

The Maria Trippel-Weg on the Rax-Schneeberg group is a classic alpine climb, offering a challenging and rewarding experience for intermediate climbers. Graded 6 (UIAA), it presents sustained rock climbing on generally solid limestone. The route is known for its exposure and airy traverses, demanding both physical and mental stamina. Expect a mix of slab climbing, cracks, and small overhangs. Proper protection is necessary, with occasional pitons in place, but bringing a standard rack of cams and quickdraws is highly recommended to supplement the existing gear. The approach typically involves a hike to the base of the wall, and the descent often requires rappelling or scrambling down a separate route. The views from the top are spectacular, rewarding the effort with panoramic vistas of the surrounding Austrian Alps. Ensure you check weather conditions before embarking on this climb as the Rax-Schneeberg area is known for its unpredictable mountain weather.
