Nur net kneifen

Climbing "Nur net kneifen" (6+) in the Upper Austrian Prealps is a rewarding experience offering a blend of physical challenge and stunning scenery. The route, whose name literally translates to "Don't Chicken Out!", lives up to its billing. The rock quality is generally good, but expect some polished holds in places, a testament to its popularity. The crux moves often involve powerful, crimpy sequences interspersed with more technical, balance-oriented sections. Route finding is usually straightforward, but paying attention to bolt placement is always recommended. The exposed position provides breathtaking views of the surrounding alpine landscape. A solid 6+ climber will find it a satisfying send, while those pushing their grade should be prepared for a demanding but ultimately worthwhile climb. Don't forget appropriate gear including quickdraws, a rope suitable for the route's length, and a belay device. Be mindful of weather conditions as the Prealps can experience sudden changes.
