Ladder route - Toblinger Knoten, 2617 m - Sexten Dolomites

From the Auronzo Hut (2326 m), follow the wide gravel path to the Paternsattel and further to the Drei-Zinnen Hut (2405 m). Behind the hut (signposted), the red-marked ascent to the Toblinger Knoten begins. You go below the south wall of the tower to the left and thus reach the start at the foot of the north face. The steep start (C) is also the key section of the via ferrata. Over stepped rocks (A) you reach a ladder and continue through a gully (A/B) to a series of ladders. After a short, flat section you reach a chimney with several exposed ladders. The following section (B/C) leads to the next ladder and around an edge into a recess (A/B). Again, ladders lead up through the chimney to the left to exit onto an airy edge. Further over a ladder and then over rock (B) to a ledge. A ladder leads up to the exit. The ascent over the ladders was not rated. A steeply mounted ladder is still a ladder! From the summit, descend over the northeast flank (Feldkurat Hosp-Steig, marked with red triangles). You have to master some unsecured, exposed passages, partly easy climbing, partly exposed path. For the most part, the descent is secured with steel cables.
