Faade Nocken

Faade Nocken, a classic 7- route in the beautiful Vienna Woods, offers a rewarding climbing experience. Tucked away amidst the serene forest, this limestone single-pitch climb is known for its steep sections and technical moves, particularly around its namesake "façade" feature. The grade of 7- (UIAA) makes it a challenging but achievable goal for experienced sport climbers. The approach is short and pleasant, leading you directly to the base of the impressive rock. Climbing Faade Nocken demands good footwork and powerful moves, often with good holds where you need them, but also some more intricate sequences. Reaching the top provides a great sense of accomplishment, even if the views are mostly of the surrounding canopy. It's a fantastic spot for a half-day adventure, combining the thrill of the climb with the tranquility of nature, a true gem for climbers in the Wienerwald.
