Tannheimer Tal
Aggenstein
On the short north side of the summit structure and in the slabs on the south side, there are definitely worthwhile climbs. Especially the south wall has become increasingly popular since it has been covered with a real grid of well-secured enjoyable climbs. Some of the routes are very close together and can be combined according to your mood. The two-part northern side has a completely different character and offers real alpine adventure for advanced climbers in the lower part.

All routes in the south wall are relatively close to each other, so that one can easily change from one to the other. The guides are mostly solid rock, with gravel passages typical for this difficulty. If there are several rope teams on the wall, the danger of falling rocks should not be underestimated.

From the south:
From the car park at the northern end of Grän to the Bad Kissinger Hütte in about 1.5 hours. Now follow the path to the Aggenstein to the first hairpin bend, from where a faint footprint leads straight on to a grassy ridge. Descend briefly and cross under the south face (about 20 minutes from the hut).
From the north:
From the top station of the Breitenbergbahn or Hochalp chairlift (1679m) via the "Langen Strich" steeply up to the Joch and on to the Bad Kissinger Hut. From there as described above to the foot of the wall on the south side.
From the forward to the main summit (a short upswing 2+) and from there back via the normal route. Abseiling via the routes is not recommended. In the gap between the pre- and main summit there is still a possibility to abseil, but it ends in very steep grass terrain and is only conditionally recommendable.

On the north side of the Aggenstein, classic Allgaeu climbing is required. The rock here is different from that of the Tannheimer Berge and resembles - especially in the "Morbus Fluttertermann" - more the main dolomite of the Allgäuer Hauptkamm.
A steep grassy slope embedded in the wall, the "Lange Strich", separates the formerly notorious (lower) north-east wall from the somewhat more comfortable north wall of the summit structure above. One of the two northern access routes to the Bad Kissinger Hütte runs over the "Lange Strich".
Aggenstein north-east face
So far rarely repeated route with really steep wall climbing throughout, which is highly praised by the few repeat climbers. The higher you get the better the route becomes.
Thomas Osterreid, Stefan Blochum
Either on foot on the signposted hiking trail 1 to the lower Breitenberg and on hiking trail 2 towards the Bad Kissinger Hut under the wall (2 hours to the start of the "Morbus Fluttertermann")
The ascent with the Breitenbergbahn and Hochalpbahn is more comfortable. From there it takes a good quarter of an hour to get to the entrance of the "Morbus Fluttertermann". To the entrances of the routes on the north face ascent via the "Langen Strich" or a comfortable short descent from the Bad Kissinger Hut.
Either abseil over the route or descend over the "Lange Strich".
Aggenstein north wall
Set up from above, rewarding wall climbing with homogeneous difficulty distribution and mostly solid rock. By far the most beautiful climbing on the summit structure on the north side.

Fom the main summit via the normal route.
Short but beautiful climb in the lower part of the north side of the summit structure. As an independent goal a little puny, but as a warmup for the Venice ladder and afterwards a nice wheat on the hut, then the ascent is already worthwhile.

Beautiful and relatively frequently climbed ridge over the inclined ridge that delimits the summit structure of the northern side on the right. Mostly good to very good rock.
