3-603: A signed trail to the top runs from the Jägerwirt inn near Scheffau from the southwest. Only the last 10 m to the summit are UIAA climbing grade III (alleviated by a few iron rings, but steep and exposed), the rest is no more difficult than grade I, but there is a danger of falling rocks. Another climb to the summit runs approaches from the east, from the Grutten Hut along the Schutterfeldköpfe . This formerly signed ascent

The southern arête (grade IV) is hardly ever used and
