With 13 pitches this is currently the longest classic alpine climb in Grimsel. This unusually varied tour requires many different climbing techniques and is quite often done. If there are other parties on the route, you have to be careful when rappelling. If you want to climb in the sun, do not start too early: the wall is in the shade for a long time (until about 11 o'clock, depending on the season).
