Climbing 'Renaissance' on the Stangenwand, graded 7+, is an exhilarating experience for any seasoned climber. Located in the majestic Gesäuse region, this multi-pitch route demands not only excellent technique and endurance but also a strong head for heights due to its significant exposure. The ascent navigates varied terrain, featuring intricate slab sections that require precise footwork, followed by sustained, vertical to slightly overhanging pitches on the famously solid Gesäuse limestone. Protection is generally good, often with bolts, yet the climbing remains engaging and challenging from start to finish. Each pitch offers unique character and breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, culminating in a deeply rewarding summit experience. 'Renaissance' truly lives up to its name, offering a modern classic in a traditional alpine setting.
