| Popularity |
low to average |
| Difficulty |
AD, III+ |
| Height gain |
~1100 (total) m height gain + descent, ~12 km vert. dist. |
| Conditions |
stable weather, icy ridge, -5 °C |
| Protection |
3x slings or bolds to abseil |
| Material |
(for soloing) 15 m rope, 2x 120 cm slings, 2x HMS |
| Remarks |
long and in parts very exposed ridge climb; mostly easy climbing up to III+, but since many rock spire must be passed, the climb is longer than it might seem based on guide books. The rock is (mostly) good, if you stay on the ridge or slightly below it. I climbed it solo without major difficulties and self-belayed on exposed sections. |
