The route consists of 6 pitches, all but one of which are in the middle to upper 6th degree.  The rock quality is mostly compact and very good, although in some places slightly brittle (Bänder).

Die schattige Nordwand - der ideale Ort an 30°-Tagen

Blick in die erste der zwei 5- Seillängen. Hier sollte man bereits gut im Schuh stehen.

Nach den zwei schuttigen Geh-Seillängen verläuft sich der Pfeiler in der doch recht steilen Wand.

Blick hinaus in das Retterschwanger Tal durch das der lange Zustieg erfolgt
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick in die zweite Schlüsselseillänge (5-). Schon der Start ist steil - die Crux selbst ist dann sogar überhangend. Verglichen mit der ersten 5- Stelle eher kräftig als technisch.

Nach der Schlüsselstelle kurz mal ausruhen und den Tiefblick genießen
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Doch auch danach geht es steil weiter (4+)

Blück hinüber ins Gängele (tiefste Einsattelung) über das später wieder zurück zum bike-depot abgestiegen wird.

Das Gelände schaut im Rückblick deutlich grasiger und schuttiger aus, als es sich beim Klettern anfühlt. Besser so, als andersrum.

Der perfekte Platz für das Wandbuch am Standplatz der 12./13.SL. Wenn man doch von einem Gewitter überrascht werden sollte, wäre in der kleinen Höhle rechts noch der "beste" Ort um es auszusitzen. Dennoch nicht zu empfehlen!

Blick auf die begangene Linie vom bike-depot aus. Erst ganz spät am Nachmittag dreht die Sonne in die Wand.
