Däumling NO-Kante

Climbing the "Däumling NO-Kante" (grade 6) in Wachau/Waldviertel is a classic alpine adventure. This route, located on the distinctive Däumling peak, offers a challenging and rewarding experience for climbers comfortable with sustained grade 6 climbing. The rock is generally solid gneiss, providing good friction, but be prepared for some exposed sections. The views from the summit are breathtaking, stretching across the beautiful Wachau valley and the rugged Waldviertel region. Expect a full day of climbing, including approach, climb, and descent. Gear requirements include a standard rack of cams, nuts, slings, and a rope. Careful route finding is crucial, especially on the descent. It's a climb that demands solid technique, good fitness, and a head for heights, but the reward is a truly memorable experience in one of Austria's most scenic climbing areas.
