Das Letzte

Climbing "Das Letzte" (The Last One) in the Upper Austrian Prealps is a rewarding experience, though not for the faint of heart. This grade 6 (UIAA scale) route demands a solid skillset: confident footwork, good endurance, and the ability to read the rock for subtle holds. The rock itself is typical of the region, often featuring pockets, crimpers, and the occasional positive hold, all interspersed with sections that can be a bit polished. The exposure is generally moderate, offering fantastic views of the surrounding Prealps landscape. A well-placed series of bolts protects the route, but clipping them all requires careful consideration of body positioning to avoid pump. While not exceptionally long, the sustained nature of the climbing ensures a proper workout. Successfully topping out on "Das Letzte" provides a real sense of accomplishment, knowing you've tackled a challenging and beautiful line in this stunning corner of Austria.
