Oh la la

Climbing "Oh la la," a route graded 7+ (French scale), in the Upper Austrian Prealps is a challenging and rewarding experience. The Prealps, with their stunning limestone cliffs and panoramic views, offer a fantastic backdrop for adventurous climbers. "Oh la la" typically presents a mix of technical face climbing, powerful sequences, and perhaps some stemming or laybacking depending on the specific features of the route. Expect sustained difficulty and demanding moves, requiring a good level of fitness, precise footwork, and confident execution. Prior experience with similar grades on limestone is highly recommended.

Depending on the exact location of the route, conditions can vary significantly. Check weather forecasts and local climbing forums before heading out, as rain can make the rock slippery and dangerous. Be prepared for alpine conditions, which can change rapidly, even in summer. Bring appropriate gear, including a sufficient number of quickdraws, a belay device, and a helmet. Consider a rope of at least 60 meters, especially if the route is known for its length. Remember to respect the environment and follow Leave No Trace principles. A successful ascent of "Oh la la" is a significant achievement, offering not only physical challenge but also a deep connection with the beautiful alpine landscape.
