Variante zum Schuppenweg

Climbing "Variante zum Schuppenweg" (grade 5) in Wachau/Waldviertel is a classic Austrian experience. This route, typically found on the granite cliffs characteristic of the region, offers solid climbing with enjoyable holds. While a grade 5 might be considered moderate, expect consistent climbing and good opportunities to practice slab and friction techniques. The views over the Wachau valley or the rolling hills of the Waldviertel are often spectacular, adding to the overall enjoyment. Gear placement is generally reliable, making it a safe and rewarding climb for experienced climbers and confident beginners under supervision. Don't forget to check the local conditions, as weather can change quickly in the mountains.
