Climbing 'Extension Civattakante' (grade 7) in the picturesque Wachau / Waldviertel region is a truly rewarding experience. This classic route offers a blend of technical challenges and exposed positions, typical of the solid granite/gneiss in the area. The grade 7 demands precision, good footwork, and a steady head, but the engaging moves and the stunning views over the surrounding landscape make every effort worthwhile. It's a fantastic test piece that combines physical exertion with mental focus. Reaching the top provides a deep sense of accomplishment before the well-earned descent, often involving rappelling, back to the base of the majestic rock face.
