Wienerwald touring with Sami


Sami came by to try some Austrian limestone. This is Conan Zülzer 9 (7c), one of the best long routes at Hohe Wand.


I've wanted to climb this route for a some time now, but it's been hard to find anyone willing to get spanked. 


Sami didn't mind, as a mountain guide he is used to hang out with fat clients.


After the crux pitch climbing gets annoyingly technical. I was happy to be able to climb rest of the route on top rope.


It was a nice day even though we both managed to screw up pretty much all the hard pitches. 


Next day at Peilstein

Matterhorn, Sami on his way to Sphinx 6 


 Evening sun at Peilstein


Back at Hohe Wand


 Bizepswandl


 On the right side you can find limestone similar to Demi Lune sector at Ceüse.


 Sami on Bin Bei Passini 8


As you need to rappel to get to Bizepswandl, you also need to climb back up. Sami on 40-meter long Reifeprüfung 7-. It looks a bit shitty but it was actually a very nice route.
