Climbing 'Rechte Miriam' (7+) in the Upper Austrian Prealps is an unforgettable experience that perfectly encapsulates the charm and challenge of alpine limestone climbing. Graded 7+ (UIAA), this route demands more than just raw power; it requires a delicate blend of technical precision, mental fortitude, and a good eye for route-finding. The rock, typical of the region, offers sharp crimps, intricate pockets, and occasionally smooth, friction-dependent slabs.

While generally well-bolted, some sections can feel run-out, adding to the psychological challenge and demanding a steady lead. The cruxes are often sustained, pushing you to your limit with intricate sequences.

Reaching the summit after conquering 'Rechte Miriam' is profoundly rewarding. The panoramic views of the surrounding Prealps are simply breathtaking, making every effort worthwhile. It's a true test piece for climbers operating at this grade, offering a fantastic blend of challenging movement, stunning scenery, and that distinct alpine adventure feel.
