As you ascend, the panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys unfold, offering a breathtaking backdrop to the physical exertion. Reaching the anchors after successfully navigating the crux sections brings a profound sense of accomplishment. 'Warmup' isn't just a physical test; it's a mental game, a dance with gravity, and a memorable ascent in one of Austria's most picturesque climbing locales.
