Roadbook
Start: In the left part of the slab. Hourglass to the right of the large corner. Attention, the route crosses to the right. Straight up is the route "Plattenschwein," which is secured with significantly fewer bolts.
Descent:
1. To the main summit of Hoher Nock: descent via the normal path about 3.5 h
2. Descent to the base of the wall: I - II towards the main summit; where the dwarf pines open widely on the right and you can see directly towards Hoher Nock summit, descend over I - II terrain. On the left, view into a large cirque. Continue descending until the dwarf pine fields reappear, then keep right, traverse below the slightly lower slab walls back to the start.
Return through the dwarf pine fields, as on the ascent. Beware of wrong paths!!! The dwarf pines have many dead ends.
