Große Schuppe

Climbing the "Große Schuppe" (Grade 2+) in the Vienna Woods is a delightful experience, offering a blend of accessible climbing and beautiful natural surroundings. The route, typically rated around a UIAA grade II+ (which translates to roughly 5.3-5.5 YDS), is perfect for beginners or those looking for a relaxed day of climbing. The rock is generally solid and well-featured, providing plenty of holds and good friction. The views from the top are often rewarding, offering glimpses through the trees across the rolling landscape of the Vienna Woods. While not a particularly long or demanding climb, it's important to be aware of potential loose rock and to protect the route adequately. Approach shoes or light hiking boots are usually sufficient for the approach, and a standard rack of quickdraws and slings should suffice for protection. Overall, climbing the Große Schuppe offers a fantastic introduction to outdoor climbing in a scenic and easily accessible location.
