Hobiolt

Climbing 'Hobiolt' (grade 7+) in the majestic Villgraten Mountains is an experience that truly tests a climber's mettle. This demanding multi-pitch route, known for its solid gneiss/granite rock and often exposed sections, presents a significant challenge even for experienced climbers.

Each section offers unique challenges, from delicate slabs to powerful overhangs, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the East Tyrolean Alps.
