Seitenwind

Climbing 'Seitenwind' (literally 'Sidewind') in the Vienna Woods is a classic experience. The route, graded 6- (UIAA), offers a pleasant challenge for intermediate climbers. The rock is generally solid limestone, providing good friction and varied holds. You'll find a mix of crimps, edges, and sometimes surprisingly large pockets. The exposure can be a factor, especially higher up, but the views of the surrounding forest are rewarding. The route is relatively well-protected with bolts, making it a good option for climbers looking to push their grade in a safe and scenic environment. Be aware that 'Seitenwind', as its name suggests, can be quite breezy, adding an extra element to the climb. Overall, it's a highly recommended route that combines enjoyable climbing with the natural beauty of the Wienerwald.
