The Grossglockner region is one of the premier areas in Austria for climbing ice faces. Though climate change has significantly reduced some of the once mighty ice faces there are still enough possibilities left for ice climbing. A perfect base camp for aspiring ice face climbers is the Oberwalder hut (2973m), located in the huge [...]]]></description>

The ascent over the South Ridge (Stuedl Ridge) to the summit of the Grossglockner is perhaps the best climb for intermediate mountaineers with more aspirations. It involves continuous climbing over the rocky ridge over about 700 m vertical. Though parts of the ridge involve only scrambling or easy climbing (UIIA II grade) there are some [...]]]></description>

The Grossglockner is one of the most popular „big“ mountain peaks of the entire Eastern Alps. Since the ascent over the standard route is not particular difficult the Grossglockner attracts not only experienced mountaineers but also quite a lot mountain hikers who do not have much mountaineering aspirations but nevertheless want to put their feet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Before discussing the various climbing routes to the summit of the Grossglockner a little history seems appropriate since this mountain has had a prominent role in the history of Austrian mountaineering. Indeed the Grossglockner was summited as early as 1800 and thus it was the first of all high mountains of Austrian to be climbed. [...]]]></description>

The Grossglockner (3798m) in the Hohe Tauern (Osttirol, Carinthia, Salzburg) mountain range is not only the highest mountain in Austria, it is also one of the most sought for of all the many high mountains in Austria. Each year, thousands of mountaineers from Austria, Germany, Italy and increasingly from Central and Eastern Europe are aspiring [...]]]></description>

Railways played a crucial role for the diffusion of Alpinism in Europe. In the 19th century only railways allowed a wider publicum to travel the large distances from the urban areas in Europe to the Alps. The first true mountain railway happened to be in Eastern Austria crossing the Semmering Pass (982m) as part of [...]]]></description>

Recently I got an invitation to visit Kufstein in Tyrol. Kufstein is a nice provincial town and serves as the entry point to the Wilder Kaiser (2344m), a rocky landmark massif North of the famous winter sports town of Kitzbühel. The many peaks of this limestone massif offer countless rock climbing opportunities of all varieties. [...]]]></description>

The highlight of my rock climbing trip to Arco was a climb up the Piccolo Dain which towers over the Sarca valley some kilometres north of Arco. Gavin chose the route &#8216;Orrizonti Dolomitici&#8217; for us. This route was relatively new and even Gavin had not climbed it yet. The mighty wall is quite impressive and [...]]]></description>
