Crazy Lady

Climbing "Crazy Lady" (grade 7) in Wachau/Waldviertel is a memorable experience. This route, typically found in the Waldviertel region known for its granite formations, demands a blend of technical prowess and mental fortitude. The rock is often characterized by its sharp crystals, requiring precise footwork and strong fingers. The difficulty lies not just in the individual moves, but in the sustained nature of the climb. Expect crimps, slopers, and potentially even some delicate stemming or smearing to navigate the crux. The relatively remote setting of the Waldviertel adds to the sense of adventure, making the successful ascent of "Crazy Lady" a satisfying achievement. Be sure to check the conditions beforehand, as granite can be slippery when wet, and consider bringing extra skin care!
