Zulu

Climbing "Zulu" (Grade 4) in the Rax-Schneeberg Group is a rewarding experience for climbers comfortable with moderate exposure and route finding. This classic route, typically accessed from the Waxriegelhaus, presents a series of engaging moves on solid limestone rock. While technically not overly demanding, the continuous nature of the climb and the exposed sections require a good head for heights and confident footwork. The route follows distinct features, such as dihedrals and small ledges, often requiring careful planning and efficient rope management. The views from the top, encompassing the Rax plateau and surrounding valleys, are a significant reward for the effort. Be sure to check weather conditions before starting, as the Rax-Schneeberg Group can experience rapid weather changes. Gear should include a standard alpine rack, including quickdraws, slings, and protection devices. Proper belay techniques and communication are essential for a safe and enjoyable ascent of "Zulu."
