From the upper Krippensteinbahn station, approach towards Five Fingers before descending a protected traverse into the north face. The grade E climb is for experienced climbers; its easier approach is not representative of the main wall. Return from Five Fingers towards the cable car. Bring a via ferrata set, helmet and harness, and check weather and lift operation. GPS is not a climbing topo or a safety guarantee.
