Follow the path from Klimm to the Großkar towards the Klimmspitze and then find the best route off-trail as an expert and alpine mountaineer. A GPS recording was deliberately omitted.

A spirited and demanding ridge route on the striking keystone of the Hornbach chain. The elegant and airy east ridge offers climbing difficulties up to grade III, guaranteeing equally adventurous and solitary hours amidst a wild rock scene. An absolute insider tip for climbers who are not afraid of heights and skilled in climbing.
