Däumling SO-Kante

Climbing the "Däumling SO-Kante" (Southeast Ridge, grade 6) in the Wachau/Waldviertel is a memorable experience. This route, located in the picturesque Lower Austrian region, offers a blend of enjoyable climbing and stunning scenery. The rock quality, typically granite, is generally good, providing solid holds and friction. The climb itself involves a mix of crack climbing, face climbing, and traversing along the exposed ridge. While a grade 6 might not seem extreme, the route requires careful footwork, thoughtful route finding, and a head for heights, especially given the exposure inherent to ridge climbs. The views from the top are breathtaking, showcasing the Danube valley, vineyards, and the rolling hills of the Waldviertel. Prepare for a rewarding day out in a beautiful and relatively quiet climbing area.
