Senftenberger Kantenritt

Climbing the 'Senftenberger Kantenritt' (rated 7) in the Wachau/Waldviertel region of Austria is a challenging and rewarding experience. This multi-pitch route on the granite cliffs demands a good level of technical skill and stamina. The route follows a prominent arete (Kante in German), hence the name, offering exposed positions and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Expect sustained climbing with demanding moves, requiring precise footwork and strong fingers. Gear placement can be a mix of bolts and trad gear, so proficiency in placing protection is highly recommended. The rock quality is generally good, but always be aware of loose holds, especially on less frequented sections. The descent often involves rappelling, so ensure you have the necessary skills and equipment. The remote location of the Wachau/Waldviertel adds to the adventure, making it a climb to remember for experienced climbers.
