Climbing "Im Auge des Geiers - Geierwandführe" (graded 7-/7) in the Simmering climbing area is a memorable experience. The route, whose name translates to "In the Eye of the Vulture," offers a compelling line up the Geierwand. The rock is generally solid, though expect some polished sections typical of popular routes. The crux moves, often involving technical footwork and precise hand placements, demand focus and commitment. The overall climbing style leans towards vertical and slightly overhanging sections, rewarding climbers with good technique and endurance. Successfully navigating this route provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment, particularly given the route's demanding nature and the beautiful views from the Geierwand.
