Emty Garten

Empty Garten in the Vienna Woods – a name that might suggest barrenness, but the climb is anything but. At grade 7+, it's a route that demands respect and a thoughtful approach. The rock, typical of the region, is often compact limestone, requiring precise footwork and strong fingers.

The crux typically involves a series of crimps and a tricky traverse to a slightly better hold. Good body positioning is key to unlocking the sequence; reaching too far will quickly sap your strength. Finding the optimal beta and executing it smoothly is crucial for success.

Beyond the difficulty, the climb offers a rewarding experience. The setting in the Vienna Woods is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery. Reaching the top provides a sense of accomplishment, knowing you've overcome a challenging and engaging route. Remember to bring plenty of chalk and trust your feet!
