    Sehr schöner Eisfall. Es lohnt sich noch weiter zu klettern, als die hier beschriebenen Seillängen. Wen die Stapferei zwischendurch nicht stört und wer Gefallen an leichter Eiskletterei in wilder Umgebung findet, kann dem Fall bis auf ca. 1930m Folgen. Oben angekommen steigt man nach Norden querend ab, überquert den Luibisbodenfall und trifft irgendwann auf die Forststraße oberhalb von Stillebach. Dieser folgt man dann bis in den Ort.

    Der Ausstieg der langen Variante ist auf dem Bild erkennbar. Oben an der Säule rechts vorbei und in einer Kurve zu den vereinzelten Bäumen.
