Non omnia vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas...

Climbing "Non omnia vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas..." (7+) on the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a truly memorable experience. The route itself is a test of both physical and mental endurance, demanding powerful moves on often-exposed rock. The crux sections require precise footwork and a solid understanding of body positioning. The holds can be surprisingly good in places, but also frustratingly sparse in others, forcing you to rely on friction and balance. The name of the route, a truncation of the famous biblical quote, adds a layer of philosophical weight to the endeavor. While the climb is physically demanding, the views from the wall are breathtaking. The sweeping panoramas of the surrounding Rax-Schneeberg landscape offer a powerful counterpoint to the ephemeral struggles of the ascent. Reaching the top is a rewarding culmination of effort, a fleeting victory against gravity and the inherent challenges of the climb. It's a reminder that even within the context of transient human endeavors, there is inherent value in the pursuit of challenge and the appreciation of beauty.
