Description

A major icefall. First section is 60-80 dgr for 180 m. First part can be simul climbed in two long pitches using the bolted belays. It can also be pitched in 4 pitches. Second part normally done in 3 pitches is 120 m and 85-90 degrees. (when we did it, this can vary with conditions. But consider that it is graded WI 5+ which is sustained steep ice climbing)

Approach

Park at roadside parking were you can see the icefall on the other side of the river. Hike down into river-bed and cross river on the snow then hike up to start of climb. Sections with rock and steep grass under snow.

Descent notes

Rappel down from some slings around tree (top) and bolted belays as well as Abalakov threads.

There is also plenty of space dedicated to new routes secured with bolts by creative talents such as Ralf Sussmann, Rudi Kühberger and the author himself. 40 long routes with at least 20 pitches, where you can clip bolts in keeping with the spirit of the times, but sometimes also have to make do with rusty protection.
