Ewig

Climbing 'Ewig' in the Vienna Woods is a test of both physical and mental fortitude. The route, graded at 9+/10-, is a demanding sequence of crimps, powerful pulls, and delicate footwork. The rock itself, characteristic of the area, is often smooth and unforgiving, requiring precise technique and unwavering confidence. Finding the right body position and maintaining contact is crucial to unlocking the crux – a powerful deadpoint to a small, sloping hold. Even after surmounting this challenge, the route doesn't relent; a sustained sequence of crimps leads to the anchor, demanding every ounce of remaining energy. 'Ewig' lives up to its name ('Eternal' or 'Forever'), feeling like an unending battle against gravity and friction, ultimately rewarding the climber with a sense of immense accomplishment and a lasting memory.
