Da capo

Climbing 'Da Capo', a delightful 5+ route in the heart of the Wachau / Waldviertel region, offers a truly memorable experience. This multi-pitch ascent typically navigates the characteristic granite or gneiss rock of the area, known for its superb friction and often intricate, technical climbing. The route presents a varied challenge, with sections of slab, occasional cracks, and engaging face climbing. While generally well-bolted, a few pieces of traditional gear might offer extra comfort on certain pitches, enhancing the adventure typical of Austrian multi-pitch routes. The exposure builds gradually, rewarding climbers with increasingly breathtaking views of the surrounding rolling hills, forests, and perhaps even glimpses of the Danube river valley as you ascend. The crux pitch, often a delicate slab or a short, powerful sequence, is well-protected and offers a satisfying challenge for the grade. Reaching the summit is always a rewarding moment, offering panoramic vistas that encapsulate the serene beauty of the Waldviertel. 'Da Capo' is considered a local classic – a perfect choice for those looking to enjoy a scenic, moderately challenging, and wonderfully diverse climb. It's a route that truly invites you to come back for more, living up to its name.
