Le Miracle: A True Miracle

โ€œThis is one of the best rock climbing routes in Tirol. An obvious line up the middle of the granite faceโ€™s impressive crack. This route immediately catches your eye!โ€ (Barbara Zangerl)

โ€ข Climbing Area: Niederthai, ร–tztal Valley
โ€ข Grade: 7b
โ€ข Length: 22 meters
โ€ข First Ascensionist: Matthias Burtscher (1993)

The route "Le Miracle" is located in a section known as "Minas Tirith & Glatteis" and begins with a tough section followed by an easier part where climbers can rest. Then it is time to move on to the crux of the route. Those climbing the route on sight and for the first time may have trouble here working out which hand to use for the narrow crack, but once this tricky section has passed the crack widens and it is more about technique than strength all the way to the top. The route is located in a cauldron-like arena with an area of sparse forest at 1,500 metres above sea level and the best time for climbing is between spring and autumn. Read more

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
