Der Urschrei

Climbing "Der Urschrei" (6+) in the Vienna Woods is a uniquely challenging experience. The route itself is a stark contrast to the lush, green surroundings. Expect powerful, crimpy moves on surprisingly sharp limestone. The holds often feel smaller than they appear, demanding precise footwork and a strong core. The crux sequence definitely lives up to the name, requiring a primal scream-worthy effort to overcome. The short but intense nature of the climb means you're either completely committed or completely off. Reaching the top is immensely satisfying, a feeling of hard-earned victory in the heart of the Austrian countryside. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends, as it's a popular route.
