The first pitch, about 40 m long and with a difficulty grade of WI5, is the most demanding. It is characterized by small columns and hollow areas. With increasing height, the ice quality improves and becomes more compact. The second pitch, about 30 m long and with a difficulty grade of WI4+, leads to the upper part of the icefall.
For the descent, it is recommended to abseil directly down the icefall using Abalakov ice anchors or to exit in the upper area to the orographic right in order to reach trail number 18, which leads back to the parking lot.

Safety information
When planning this tour, the amount of snow on the ground and avalanche danger must be carefully checked. It must also be taken into account that at a certain avalanche risk it is advisable—and legally required—to carry full emergency equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe).In addition, special attention should be paid to the ice quality for the abseil maneuvers using Abalakov anchors; if conditions are unfavorable, the existing dwarf pines can also be used as alternative anchor points.
A single abseil with 60-meter twin ropes is sufficient to reach the base of the icefall.
Roadbook
You can either enter the channel directly and follow it to the base of the icefall or ascend in the forest on the orographic right side until you are level with the icefall, then traverse to the base.
Return via the same route.
