Bachstelze

Climbing "Bachstelze" (6+) in the Vienna Woods is a rewarding experience. The route, whose name translates to "wagtail" in English, typically involves navigating a series of challenging holds and sequences, often requiring precise footwork and thoughtful body positioning. The rock itself might be a mix of textures, from smooth and polished sections to more featured areas offering better grip. Depending on the specific section, you might encounter crimps, pockets, or slopers. Finding good rests can be crucial, as the sustained nature of a 6+ climb demands efficient energy management. The mental aspect is just as important as the physical; maintaining focus and commitment, especially when facing a crux move, can make all the difference. Reaching the top after a thoughtful and determined climb feels particularly satisfying, knowing you've conquered a technical challenge amidst the beautiful scenery of the Vienna Woods.
