Ju ha Verschneidung

The 'Ju ha Verschneidung,' a renowned Grade VI climb nestled in the rugged granite landscapes of the Wachau / Waldviertel region of Austria, offers a true test of traditional climbing skill. This route, as its name suggests, is characterized by a prominent corner or dihedral, demanding precise technique – be it stemming, laybacking, or delicate jamming. The coarse-grained granite of the Waldviertel provides excellent friction, but the sustained nature of the pitch(es) at this grade means a consistent effort is required. Ascending the 'Ju ha Verschneidung' is not just about the physical challenge; it's about the immersive experience of a classic line in a beautiful, often wild, setting, far removed from the more crowded alpine crags. It's a climb that rewards commitment with fantastic views and the satisfaction of mastering a historical route.
