Beautiful multi-pitcher tour to the left part of the head forces south wall. The ascent runs along a pillar to the left of a small ravine and somehow has everything one expects from Kaiser climbs. A super finale in a 2-pitch intersection and a balanced passage just in front of the last hook, some nice 5-meter pitches, but also one or the other grassy Schrofenpassage between the beautiful rocky outcrops. The first riders have done a great job - in the difficult places the tour is very well secured with bolts, only in light terrain (3-4) you often have to climb a bit further to the next bolt. Scenic and climbing technically good line on the left edge of the Schneekares - one of the easier routes at the Kopfkraxen / Sonneck and therefore will probably soon become a popular classic! 

Remark about the insurance:

Good to very good secured with bolts, only in light terrain longer distances.

Addition to the difficulty:

One rope length 6+ (6- / A0), three rope lengths 5+, 4 rope lengths 5 and the rest easier.

Approach to the wall:

From the Gasthof Jägerwirt (parking) in the direction of Treffauer ascend. Passing Wegschaidalm and the Wegscheid-Hochalm you come to a small waterfall (possibly there material depot). Right past the small waterfall in the direction of Treffauer. You climb steeply in the pines until you come to a small gully in the way to a small meadow area in the pines (Steinmann). There from the way, shortly to the left, but then straight up to the Schneekar. In the Schuttkar you cross for a longer time to the left. The entrance is on the left of a small ravine that pulls down to the right of the pillar.

Height entry: 

1705 m

Descent:

From the end of the tour, cross the trail to the left, which descends from the Kopfkraxen. Then descend and at the saddle of the Sonnstein turn left (in the direction of Treffauer) back to the waterfall. From there on the access road back to Gasthof Jägerwirt.

Remarks:

Shortest tour on the south face of Kopfkraxen and Sonneck. The heavy rope length comes relatively high up, which should be considered as a delight. The tour has a relatively large number of 5 pitches - even small cattle makes crap that you notice the latest in the key rope length.

Before the last pitch (5) you can in an emergency on a grass tape already left to the trail.
