The last elevation in the long eastern foothills of the Gimpels. The grassy rock head rises to the west of the Nesselwängler Scharte and can be reached relatively easily from there via the short east ridge.
In addition to the older paths, several short routes with compact rock, optimally secured with bolts, now lead through the south wall. For those who are up to the difficulties, a nice corner to escape the usual south wall hustle and bustle.
From the hut on the hiking trail towards the "Nesselwängler Scharte". Where the path reaches the rock, it continues to climb for about 50 metres. Then leave the path to the left and walk over scree and scree to the entrances (approx. 40 min.).

It is usual to rope down the described routes. Those who prefer the foot descent will reach the summit in another 3-4 pitches (not set up, 3 to 4). From there descend via the east ridge to the Nesselwängler Scharte (1 to 2, unpleasant when wet).
The route dedicated to the former innkeeper of the Tannheimer hüüte offers demanding steep wall and crack climbing with continuous and homogeneously distributed difficulty.
