This crossing is probably one of the challenging high routes in the Zillertal Alps. The information in the Zillertal Alps guide (Klier, 2013) is extremely sparse, partially incorrect, and the route length is described too short. Difficulty level 5 and handling of removable protection should be mastered for relaxed climbing. Ice axe, crampons, and helmet are also part of the equipment.
Then nothing stands in the way of an exciting and long climbing day.
Ridge length as the crow flies approx. 1.1 km, 300 m elevation gain, climbing time approx. 7 hours
