Lästerday

Climbing 'Lästerday' (7+) in the Wachau / Waldviertel region is a memorable experience. This route, typical of the area's granite, presents a challenging blend of technical moves and sustained power. The 7+ grade isn't an exaggeration – it demands precise footwork on slick, sometimes friction-dependent slabs, interspersed with powerful sequences on small crimps and delicate balance moves. The name itself, 'Lästerday' (perhaps a playful nod to 'Blasphemy Day' or just a quirky sound), adds to its mystique. As you ascend, the characteristic Waldviertel landscape unfolds below – dense forests and the rugged beauty of the granite formations. It's a route that truly tests your mental fortitude as much as your physical strength, pushing you to commit fully to each move. Sending 'Lästerday' leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction, a true testament to the unique climbing character of this Austrian region.
