Verschneidung

The "Verschneidung" (Intersection) route in the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) offers a classic and rewarding climbing experience at a moderate grade of 4+. While not a particularly long climb, it's known for its enjoyable movement, solid rock (typically limestone), and relatively secure protection. The 'Verschneidung' itself, a corner feature formed by two rock faces meeting, is the crux of the route and demands good technique and body positioning.

The approach is generally straightforward, but checking a guidebook or online resource for specific directions is always recommended. Expect to find bolted anchors for belaying and rappelling (though always inspect them carefully). Depending on the specific 'Verschneidung' you're climbing (there may be multiple with similar names), the rock quality can vary, so be mindful of loose holds.

Overall, climbing 'Verschneidung' in the Vienna Woods is a great option for climbers looking for a accessible, well-protected, and aesthetically pleasing route close to Vienna. It's perfect for honing skills, enjoying the natural beauty of the area, and experiencing a taste of Austrian climbing tradition. Remember to check the weather conditions beforehand and bring appropriate gear, including a rope, quickdraws, and a helmet.
