Climbing<\/h2>\n

The Ges\u00e4use has been writing alpine history for more than 200 years. In the beginning, monks of Admont Abbey, herdsmen and hunters stood at the summit of the Ennstal Alps.<\/p>\n

The first tourist ascents together with local hunters were followed by the \"guideless\" who established the Viennese School model of thought in the Ges\u00e4use. They set countless classics that are still alpine standards today: The edge of the Rosskuppe, the Dachl north face, the Peternschartenkopf north and north-east face. After the technically wild 60s, \"alpine modernity\" also made its way into the Ges\u00e4use. In the spirit of the early days, rows and rows of new free-style climbs of higher difficulty were found. The most frequently visited routes and walls of the Ges\u00e4use have been generally renovated in a coordinated manner in recent years. Great attention was paid to preserving the originality and ultimately also the adventure. In many of the routes, you will only find well-equipped belay stations; most of the intermediate belays have to be installed by the climbers themselves. This style of renovation should not give the impression that the walls and routes have the character of a climbing garden and thus underestimate length and difficulty. The Ges\u00e4use National Park also contributed to the creation of the \"Climbing Guide Ges\u00e4use\"<\/a>The accesses to the walls were ecologically analysed and it was agreed upon the most sensible option in each case. Thus, the accesses should be easy to find - an advantage for both, climbers and nature conservation. Parts of the rock faces of the Ges\u00e4use mountains<\/a> are prohibited areas in the NATURA 2000 protected area<\/a>there - in these areas - climbing is prohibited. By the way, the best knowledge and safest climbing in the Ges\u00e4use are the local mountain guides, which you can find here<\/a> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
