Frühjahrsputz

The Vienna Woods offer a surprising amount of climbing, and 'Frühjahrsputz' is a classic route at the lower end of the difficulty scale. Graded 6- (UIAA), it's a good introduction to climbing on this type of rock. The approach is usually straightforward, a pleasant walk through the forest. The route itself often follows a crack or corner system, providing good holds and making it relatively beginner-friendly for a 6-. The rock quality can vary, so it's important to check your holds before committing to a move. While not particularly long or sustained, 'Frühjahrsputz' requires some technique and footwork. Reaching the top provides a satisfying feeling, rewarded by the beautiful surroundings of the Vienna Woods. It's a great option for a sunny afternoon of climbing close to the city.
