Black Hole

Climbing "Black Hole" in the Vienna Woods is a memorable experience, even if it's 'only' a grade 4+. The route often involves traversing across steep, textured limestone with pockets and crimps that demand precise footwork and body positioning. The overhang, which gives the route its name and perhaps a psychological element, forces you to commit and pull hard. The rock quality is generally good, though vigilance for loose holds is always advisable. The ambiance of the Vienna Woods, with its lush greenery and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, adds to the overall appeal, making "Black Hole" a rewarding climb, both physically and mentally, offering a taste of more challenging routes to come. The climb's relatively short nature makes it ideal for a quick outing or a warm-up for harder climbs in the area. However, the crux moves can still pack a punch, making it a worthwhile challenge for climbers of intermediate skill levels.
