Ferdi's Thron

Climbing "Ferdi's Thron" (Ferdi's Throne) in the Vienna Woods is a classic experience for climbers in the region. Graded at 5/5+ (UIAA), it offers a fun and challenging climb on solid limestone. The route typically involves varied holds, requiring a combination of technique and strength. Expect crimps, slabs, and maybe even a small roof or overhang depending on the exact variant you choose. The views from the top, while not panoramic, offer a pleasant glimpse into the surrounding forest. It's a popular climb, so be prepared for potential queues, especially on weekends. Remember to check the weather conditions before heading out, as the rock can become slippery when wet. Gear-wise, a standard sport climbing rack with quickdraws should suffice. Enjoy your climb on Ferdi's Thron!
