Hello all, I am moving to Innsbruck in December for 7 years and wan to get the low down on crags there. Any favorites from people and recommendations on guide books to get? I have posted this on the Rock climbing board as well.

In reply to Aigen: You don't need to post to multiple boards, we can see them all.

In reply to Aigen: your only a couple of hours from the dolomites

In reply to Aigen:

The Stubia and Oeztal ranges are pretty nice.

In reply to Aigen: hiya, lived there myself a while back, Martinswand just out past the airport would be a great place to start...

In reply to Aigen:

Herman Buhl mentions the Karwendel range, just to the north of the city, in his book 'Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage'

including Steinerne Rinne

and Laliderer

looks very adventurous

In reply to Aigen:

God, where yo start? Wilder Kaiser, Wetterstein, Dolomites etc... if you want specific route recommendations let me know by mail...

Also, there is the most amazing whitewater kayaking close by and obviously skiiing and mountain biking!


One question for you, what are you doing out there? I would love to move to Innsbruck, but I need a job ....!

All the best,
Heike
