Description 

This climb was originally accessed via the Hinterstoisser Traverse by Bradley White. Ryan Barber then took the lead up through the dirty chimney below Wünderkind hoping to access the magnificent roof. Not feeling brave enough that day to step out onto the blocky face below the roof and afraid this might avalanche significant sized blocks down to Bradley below, he belayed Bradley up to the ledge before this inside corner, and finished up the route via this corner.

Some cool stemming is required, and then a pump up over the bulge at the top.

Location 

From the Wünderkind belay ledge, climb over the bulge onto another ledgy platform, and follow the left facing inside corner up for about 15 feet then right over a small overhang.

Protection 

Some small and medium gear is required at the beginning, but the business is protected by bolts.
