Ad Hominem

Ad Hominem in Waldmarkwandl is a climb that punches above its weight. While graded 8- (French scale), it demands careful footwork, crimpy holds, and a mental resilience to overcome the surprisingly powerful sequences. The route follows a slightly overhanging face with small pockets and thin crimps, forcing you to stay engaged and precise throughout. A key sequence involves a committing move off a small, sloping hold to a slightly better crimp, followed by a quick clip. The final moves to the anchor require a final burst of power. Successfully climbing Ad Hominem is not just a physical challenge, but a mental one. It tests your ability to stay calm and focused even when your fingers are screaming and your feet are slipping. The feeling of clipping the chains is immensely satisfying, a testament to the perseverance required to conquer this demanding climb. Don't underestimate it!
