The first and therefore oldest sport climbing route in the Wiwanni area. Beautiful, varied climbing, often done. Recommendable.
Route description

Route «Steinadler»
Follow the route according to the topo for 14 pitches. The route ends at the S summit (not marked on the map).
Continuation: «Steinadler» – Wiwannihorn
From the top of the route you can reach the main summit via the SSE ridge, first by simple climbing, then later with parkour skills over talus and boulders.
Descent SW-wall "Tritji"
Fastest descent from Wiwannihorn back to the hut. Otherwise you can take the somewhat harder but shorter SW-ridge.
