    Ab dem gelb-rotem Turm viel Geröll. Ansonsten gute Tour, alles gut zu finden und mit dem Topo keine Orientierungsprobleme. Die letzten beiden Seillängen kann man zusammen fassen, aber dann aufpassen damit man keine Steine mit dem Seil auslöst.

    Der Einstieg stimmt nicht. Wir kamen von der Karlsbader Hütte und bei der Gedenktafel ist auch ein neuer Bohrhaken neben einem alten. Wir sind dort eingestiegen und es gibt nichts weit und breit. Wenn man am Wanderweg noch 50 Meter weitergeht kommen Stahlseilversicherungen und sogar eine gelbe Tafel wo der Einstieg aufwärts angeschrieben ist. Dort ist man dann richtig. Ein Stand ist gleich bei den Stahlseilen, den man sich aber sparen kann und gleich über leichtes Gelände nach oben steigt zum 2ten. Bei den Ausstiegslängen sind sehr viele Abseilringe die man alle als Stände nehmen kann. Es geht sich mit dem 50er oft ned aus und man sollte bisschen drüberschauen wie viel Seil man schon verbraucht hat. Die Tour an sich 5 Sterne wunderschön!
