Locker vom Hocker

Climbing "Locker vom Hocker" (8-) in the Vienna Woods was a fantastic experience. The route starts with a powerful, slightly overhanging section that demands good body tension and precise footwork. The holds are generally positive, but require some thought to link them smoothly. After the initial pump, there's a more technical slab section where delicate balance and subtle movements are key. The crux comes near the top, a sequence involving a tricky undercling and a long reach to a good hold. Pulling through that felt amazing! The whole climb is situated in a beautiful, shady part of the forest, making it a perfect escape from the city. "Locker vom Hocker" is a truly rewarding climb that combines power, technique, and a great setting.
