Asterix

Asterix, a classic climb in the Upper Austrian Prealps, offers a rewarding experience for climbers at the 6- (UIAA) grade. Typically found on crags like those around Losenstein or Hinterstoder, it's characterized by solid rock and interesting movement. Expect well-protected pitches with a mix of face climbing, crimps, and potentially some stemming. The route often presents a good challenge for climbers transitioning from easier grades, demanding both technical skill and a decent level of stamina. The stunning views of the surrounding Prealps add to the overall enjoyment, making Asterix a popular choice for a day out climbing in this beautiful region. Remember to check local conditions and pack accordingly before heading out!
