Shorty

Climbing 'Shorty,' a grade 6 route in the Wachau/Waldviertel region, offers a delightful challenge on typically solid granite. Expect technical face climbing with crimps and thoughtful footwork. The exposure is generally moderate, making it a good introduction to climbing in this beautiful part of Austria. The views from the top are rewarding, providing a panorama of the rolling hills and vineyards that characterize the Wachau. While not an overly long route, 'Shorty' packs a punch and demands precision. Check for updated route conditions and bring a standard rack of quickdraws.
