Yet another weekend at Hohe Wand

On Saturday the plan was to climb Auf Wildenauers Spuren UIAA 7- /  200m, but the weather looked unstable so we decided to do some sport climbing instead


Rote Wand is a good looking sport sector at the top of Hohe Wand, close to Gasthof Almfrieden


 Looks pretty pumpy to me...


 Rat der Alten UIAA 7+, steep & juggy


A nice rest


 30 meter jugfest, helt okej!


 Rote Wand was pretty nice. A good choice if the weather is not good enough for longer routes. 


Nov 8. and still +22 °C. Sometimes I like Austria. 


Auf Wildenauers Spuren


The route follows  a nice buttress on solid limestone 


Another team close by. Their route didn't look too bad either!


Our route was pretty sustained, 8 pitches and almost all were around UIAA 6+


This is the second to last pitch


 Very nice and exposed climbing


Sport climbing at Rote Wand was nice, but it's hard to beat longer routes. This was my 30th long route at Hohe Wand and I have a feeling that there will be many more.
