Auftakt

Climbing 'Auftakt' (7+) in Wachau/Waldviertel is a memorable experience. The route, typically characterized by powerful crimps and technical footwork, demands both strength and precision. The rock itself is often compact and slightly overhanging, requiring sustained effort. Finding the correct beta is crucial, as the holds can be deceptively small and the sequences non-obvious. The setting in the Wachau/Waldviertel region adds to the appeal, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape providing a welcome distraction (if you can afford to look!). Successfully topping out 'Auftakt' feels like a well-earned victory, a testament to both physical and mental fortitude.
