Pfeilerriss

Climbing the "Pfeilerriss" (grade 5) in the Vienna Woods is a classic experience. The route, as the name suggests, follows a prominent pillar crack. The rock is generally solid limestone, offering good friction and holds. The crack itself is mostly hand-sized, making for enjoyable and engaging climbing. While technically straightforward for the grade, the sustained nature of the route requires good endurance and efficient crack climbing technique. The surroundings are beautiful, with the dense forest providing a peaceful and scenic backdrop. Expect a bit of polish in places, especially on the lower sections, a testament to the route's popularity. A fantastic climb to hone your crack skills and enjoy the natural beauty of the Wienerwald.
