Description

The Black Wall is basically reserved for expert climbers, revealing the sight of an absolutely magnificent rock. The special thing about this wall is the extraordinary fact that you climb along beautiful finger holes formed by the action of the granite.
 
A little above, on the Mühlwand, you will find perfectly secured multi-pitch routes that will challenge and reward you at the same time. The characteristics of this climbing region are technically demanding slabs, wonderful ledges, which are so typical in the Zillertal, as well as the eroded finger holes.
 
NOTE: About 100 metres down the valley from the car park is the Freedom sector with two challenging routes (8b+/c and 7c+) waiting for you to explore.
