Climbing "Hopp oder Tropp", a classic route graded 7 (UIAA) in the Wachau / Waldviertel region of Austria, offers a superb and memorable experience. Known for its demanding technical sequences and sustained climbing, it requires precision, endurance, and good footwork. The granite/gneiss rock, typical for this area, provides excellent friction, though the holds can sometimes be subtle. Ascending this route not only presents a significant physical challenge but also rewards climbers with breathtaking panoramic views of the Danube river valley and the picturesque surrounding landscape. It's a highly recommended ascent for experienced climbers looking to test their skills on a well-protected yet challenging line.
