Kleine Verschneidung

Climbing the 'Kleine Verschneidung' (5+) in Upper Austria is a classic alpine experience. This route, often found in the Sengsengebirge or the Totes Gebirge, offers a challenging yet rewarding day out. The climb typically involves well-protected sections of slab climbing, steep corners ('Verschneidung' meaning dihedral or corner), and exposed traverses. The rock quality is generally excellent, often limestone, providing good friction. While the grade of 5+ might seem moderate, the alpine environment demands careful route finding, solid rope management skills, and awareness of the weather. Prepare for stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys from the summit. A truly memorable experience for intermediate climbers looking to test their skills in a breathtaking setting.
