Interimsliebe

Interimsliebe (graded 6 in the local UIAA scale) is a classic climb in the Wachau/Waldviertel region of Austria, known for its scenic beauty and challenging routes. The climb often features technical moves on typically solid granite, demanding good footwork and efficient technique. The route's name, translating roughly to 'Interim Love' or 'Temporary Love,' adds a touch of romance or irony to the experience. While not excessively long, the climb requires sustained effort and careful route finding. Climbers should expect a mix of crimps, small ledges, and potentially some smearing, depending on the specific variation. Popular among local climbers, it's important to be mindful of potential queues, especially during peak climbing season. Be sure to check current conditions and bring sufficient quickdraws and a rope suitable for sport climbing.
