The easiest route on the Alpler Flue runs somewhat back and forth, seeking the easiest way up the lefthand pillar. The route offers 5 short pitches including a horizontal traverse from the top of pitch 1 to the start of pitch 2. It is very well bolted, and should be manageable for relative beginners. Due to the close bolting, for example, the short crux section at the start of pitch 3 must not necessarily be climbed free.
