    Die Umgehung vom Eselssteig finde ich unnötig. Das ist kein markierter Wanderweg über eine Wiese, wo wahrscheinlich keine Wanderer drüber sollten (Naturschutz?).

    Bin die Runde heute auch in die entgegengekehrte Richtung gegangen. Grundsätzlich sehr schön, speziell an der Abbruchkante mit Blicken in die Steilwände, die Neue Welt und zum Schneeberg. Nicht unproblematisch fand ich den Abstieg in den Leitergraben, durchwegs sehr steil und nicht für jedermann geeignet. Warnschilder weisen auch darauf hin. Absolut nichts gibt die Plackles her, obwohl sie der höchster Punkt ist.

    Schöne, kompakte Runde! Man kann am Ende auch Richtung Grünberg Schulen abbiegen (Wegweisern folgen), falls man Zeit gewinnen möchte um den Zug zu erwischen.

    Eigentlich eine sehr schöne Tour, allerdings war das Kletterstück für mich, da es keinerlei Sicherung gab zwar technisch nicht herausfordernd, doch psychisch dafür sehr stark, das ausgesetzte Stück hat meiner Psyche sehr viel abverlangt, was den Gesamteindruck beeinträchtigt hat. Allerdings sind viele andere von groß bis klein, von jung bis alt die Kletterstrecke völlig angstfrei gegangen. Eine eher belebte Wanderstrecke.
