Description

Very fun and popular climb along the ridge. Start where the rock is fractured. The route was recently re-bolted with stainless bolts but has older looking bolts on the rich (belonging to Durststrecke route). Cruxes are nicely bolted but the easier sections have spaced out bolts. Anchors are either stainless plates or big rings set on decent ledges. 

Location

Hike up the hill from the road over some scree fields to the base of the obvious wall. Start the route where the rock is fractured.

Protection

Bolts. Bring a set of QDs and lockers/slings for the anchors. Not many cracks for cams.
