Rappel ring bolt under summit register box, 1x 40m.

Virtual topo video, wow! 2nd video.

Same start as "Silken Thread", then go right at first belay.

In the northeast side up.

Topo. In the northwest side bolts to the finish of "Silken Thread".

"Via Scorpion" until it gets small pebbled, then leftwards wall (6a+) to arete (belay). Further leftwards (5a) to the top.

Left of "Via Scorpion" directly to the belay of "Silken Thread" (10 bolts). Arete (4 bolts) to the top.

P1 3 bolts. Starts a bit to the left (the first bolt is placed too low to be of any use, probably there to show the right entry point). Easy slab climbing. You can sling a couple of big pebbles, two more bolts at the steeper part. Single ring anchor.

P2 no bolts. Low angle dihedral, when it gets a bit steeper at the end it can be climbed as a chimney. You can continue to the first bolt of the 3rd pitch so that the 3rd pitch will be directly above the belay.

P3 2 bolts. Easy start up to the first bolt, then straight up the chimney.You can place a couple of threads and a #6 Camalot. There's a second bolt and the anchor (two rings) is on the right side over a big embedded rock.

P4 2 bolts. Up the chimney past the first bolt, a bit outwards and up to the old threads (it is a good idea to back them up with a sling of your own). Still outwards and upwards past the last bolt. You can walk a #6 for a while. You can also choose how much you want to squeeze, in for safety, out for comfort. Comfortable single ring anchor on a ledge.

P5 no bolts. Wide chimney which becomes almost horizontal up to the single ring anchor.

P1: Follow the water groove, belay from the bush. No bolts.

P2: Easy leftward traverse, no bolts.

P3: Up towards the left corner of the cave. No bolts, you can sling the tree.

P4: Walk to the other side of the cave, there's one anchor inside the cave and one outside and a bit higher. It's better to use the latter for better communication in the next pitch.

P5: Well bolted slab/ arete climb. 10 bolts.

P6: Straight up the slab, 2 bolts.

P7: Easy slab, no bolts.

P8: Slightly leftwards, one bolt on the exit, belay from tree. Can be easily linked with P7.

Typical Meteora face climbing. Sparsely bolted so expect "agony and pain" if the grade is not well within your limits... The end of 3rd pitch has dangerous loose rock that should better be avoided.

Adventurous route with easy but exposed climbing.

P1 starts on the west face, some 30m left of the SW ridge. It climbs diagonally to the right to the anchors at the entrance of the tunnel (2 bolts).

P2 Easy scramble trough the tunnel cave. At the exit ignore the anchor on your right and go for the one on the far end of the cave. (no bolts).

P3 Diagonally up on the largest cobbles towards the next cave, anchor to the far end (2 bolts).

P4 Easy but exposed traverse until the bolt (about 10m to the right) then up, anchor at the middle of the cave (1 bolt, you can sling 1-2 cobbles).

P5 Rightwards traverse then up the water groove into another hollow cave. Walk through to the other side, anchor behind the tree (no bolts, a couple of cam placements at the right of the groove).

P6 Diagonally up and right through cave traverses and vertical slab moves between them (2 bolts).

P7 Straight up to the bolt, then rightwards to easier ground and up to the summit (1 bolt)

Return by rappelling down Südwestkante (4 rappels)

P1 6 bolts, P2 2 bolts, P3 3 bolts, P4 1 bolt.

After the abseil place you can walk 30m to the top and the route book. Abseil the same way down (4 rappels).
