Very nice multi-pitch tour in the 6th degree on the south face of the Geiselstein, which ends directly at the summit cross. 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).
