The Gimpel is one of the highest mountains of the Tannheim Alps with a peak height of 2176 metres and its normal route over the SE flank and east ridge is a popular destination for demanding mountain hikers. The Gimpel offers climbers ascents of different kinds.
While the south side offers short, sunny pleasure routes, the rather gloomy north side offers a multitude of rarely used long and alpine climbing routes.
One example is the striking "Schräge Riss". However, the north face primarily describes the new, modern or renovated routes and the climbing garden routes on the left-hand side of the wall.
