SO-Rinne

The 'SO-Rinne' (Southeast Gully) offers a classic and relatively accessible introduction to climbing in the Wachau/Waldviertel region of Austria. Graded at 3- (UIAA), it's a suitable route for beginner to intermediate climbers looking to experience multi-pitch climbing on granite. The route typically involves several pitches of enjoyable climbing, primarily in a gully formation. Expect mostly slab climbing with good holds and some stemming sections.

While the difficulty is manageable, climbers should be comfortable with placing their own protection as the route is generally sparsely bolted. A standard rack of cams and nuts is recommended. The rock quality is generally good, but always inspect holds before committing. The descent is often made via rappelling or downclimbing.

'SO-Rinne' offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and a rewarding climbing experience. It's best to climb during dry conditions and with a good understanding of alpine skills, including anchor building and rope management. Remember to check current weather conditions before heading out and inform someone of your climbing plans.
