Check weather, closures, approach and descent with the local operator or route guide. This map is not a climbing topo or a guarantee of safety. Follow the marked direction; do not reverse a ferrata based on the map.
Keep your hands free while climbing. Use your phone only at a secure stopping place.

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. Photography: Zikmund Schwarzkopf alias Síga.
