Reicht Variante

Climbing "Reicht Variante" (8+) in the Vienna Woods is a truly memorable experience. The route, characterized by its steep, powerful moves on often crimpy holds, demands a high level of both physical strength and technical proficiency. Finding the right sequence through the crux section is crucial; often a subtle shift in body position or a well-placed heel hook can unlock a previously impossible move. The rock itself is usually solid limestone, but be prepared for some polished sections, especially near popular holds. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the sounds of the forest surrounding you as you climb. The sense of accomplishment after topping out on this challenging route is immense, making it a worthwhile test piece for any aspiring hard climber visiting the Wienerwald.
