The Austrian rock climber, Angela Eiter holds a prominent status in the sport climbing fraternity. With four IFSC Lead Climbing World Cups and four IFSC world championships, the Austrian climber is already at the pinnacle of her metier. From conquering the 9b ascent in Spain to making it to the top of the 9a route in Austria, Eiter has covered it all. However, to add another momentous victory to her bag, she climbed the most fearsome route in her country and became the first female climber to trounce the dangerous route.

In 2020, Eiter climbed the most savage Austrian wall, the Madame Ching rock face. However, it took 2 years for the climber to bottle up her courage and climb the gigantic rock. Let’s see how Eiter’s winning spree folded out.

Angela Eiter climbed the most dangerous Austrian route

The Madame Ching rock face is situated in the Tyrol mountains in Austria. With 50 meters in height and insanely overhanging cliffs, the route has every element to pose difficulties to its pursuers. However, Eiter expressed her moxie and finally climbed the rock in 2020. As per the report of the New York Post, Angy stated, “it was completely without traces and I had to clean the dirt from rocks and broken holds”.

Furthermore, on the day of the ascent, it was heavily raining and Eiter had to use “tissues to dry the holds” of the rock. However, after a while, the wall dried off, and the Austrian started to climb the rock. “I knew I had to do it then because otherwise, it would rain heavily”, added Angy.

After mounting for approximately 100 moves, Angy finally reached the crest of Madame Ching rock face. Following this, she became the first woman to conquer the ferocious Austrian route. Eiter clearly outdid her previous ascent of Spain’s La Planta de Shiva a.k.a. 9a.

Angela Eiter’s 9b record

In 2017, the Austrian climber inscribed her name in the pages of history by successfully free climbing the 9b route in Villanueva del Rosario, Spain. By swarming up the mighty route of La Planta de Shiva, Angy placed her name alongside the legends like Adam Ondra and Chris Sharma who were the only climbers before Angy to complete the route. 

From Spain’s Era Vella and La Planta de Shiva to Austria’s Big Hammer and Madame Ching, the Austrian climber has scribbled her name on every chancy route there is. Eiter indeed is a staunch athlete through and through, don’t you think?
