Variante Doppelfeind

Climbing 'Variante Doppelfeind' (graded 6- in UIAA, approximately 5.10a in Yosemite decimal system) in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a rewarding experience offering beautiful views and engaging climbing on solid limestone. This route, like many in the area, demands a good head for heights and confident movement on exposed rock.

The climb typically features a mix of face climbing, stemming, and occasional traversing. The rock quality is generally good, but paying attention to holds and placements is always crucial. While the route is relatively well-protected with bolts, carrying a few quickdraws and potentially a small selection of cams or nuts can provide additional security and flexibility, especially on run-out sections.

The Rax-Schneeberg Group is known for its alpine environment, so be prepared for variable weather conditions. Checking the forecast before heading out is essential, and packing appropriate clothing and gear is vital. The approach often involves a hike, adding to the overall duration and effort of the day. Once on the route, the exposed position and panoramic views are a highlight, making the climb a truly memorable adventure. Successful completion of 'Variante Doppelfeind' requires a solid foundation in climbing technique, good physical fitness, and sound judgment in the mountains.
