Austria freind trip

 This weekend, climbing was something special for us because of our friend, Natalka from Kyiv, whom we took with us. Furthermore, we finally found those picturesque mellows with blocks and cows, which are associated with climbing in Zillertal.

This weekend we bouldered in Zillergrund and Sundergrund.

The road through the narrow and somewhat cozy valley to the right of Mayhofer costs 10 euros. But parking is free there. And there is a nice Gasthof Au where one can sleep in a car or in a tent for only 10 euros, and kids are free of charge. It's very nice in the reality of Austria. 

In Gasthof Au

Zillergrund is located on a steep hill in a forest. There is my favorite project for now: Krokodil 6c, the very classics of the area.

Kostya has a pretty hard project there as well - the beginning of this: Hole Run 7b

The approach to first blocks of Zillgrund is very short - just across the road from one of two parking. However, it's steep.

The approach to Sundergrund is about 25 minutes of hiking up. It offers lots of air, views, and cows, as well as many very popular boulders. And it's really kids-freindly. It is one of them: Sweatheart 6a+

Another one: Richis Luder - a very long 6b. I just hadn't enough power to get through the middle and the most sloppery part of it.

Adventures of almost austrian dwarf

There are some true treasures among areas that were missed top-10 and even top-100 in their country. Especially if it situated in such rock reach location as mountain valley near crossborder of Austria, Italy and Slovenia. Kanzianiberg is one of them.
