Tannheimer Tal
Zwerchwand
Broad south wall, which adjoins the Gimpel southeast porch to the east, a prominent gorge divides the wall into a western and an eastern part. The grass strips embedded in the wall take the masonry seriously, even inexperienced climbers in alpine terrain do not feel uncomfortably exposed here. However, you have to climb very safely and carefully in the rugged areas, because the hiking trail to the Nesselwängler Scharte runs underneath the wall.
From the hut Gimpelhaus in direction "Gimpel-Normalweg". Where the path meets the Gimpel porch, turn right towards "Nesselwängler Scharte". The routes are then on the left above the path. (about 30 minutes from the hut)
Parking at the Gimpelhaus car park in Nesselwängle.
Meanwhile one of the most popular routes of this degree in the Tannheimers. Early risers have a clear advantage. Interesting climbing sections in largely solid rock.

Three abseiling pistes are available.
From top to bottom.
Abseiling piste no. 1: Unsuitable for beginners as the first abseiling length is overhanging. From the highest ridge elevation to the south over a steel rope to the first, slightly overhanging abseiling point.
Abseiling piste no. 2: This is the most recommended abseiling piste. The easier abseil leads from the highest point of the ridge west along the ridge to the Zwerchscharte and then south.
From the highest elevation west along the ridge into the Zwerchscharte and then south.

The Zwerchenweg also offers beautiful climbing in mainly good rock. However, the route is steeper and in the difficulties much more homogeneous and persistent.

Very nice homogeneous route with varied climbs over slabs, overhangs and intersections.

Abseiling via the central abseiling piste to the left of the routes. When abseiling, do not cause a rock fall, as the hiking trail to the Nesselwängler Scharte runs below the wall.
The route leads from Miss Nesselwängle's third stand directly through the compact wall. The key stele requires small wall climbing, the penultimate rope length is one of the most beautiful in the Tannheim area.

After a strenuous entry overhang follows beautiful, homogeneous climbing over slabs with holes and ledges. Elegant route, frequently used.

One of the easier routes on the Zwerchwand, which offers homogeneous, rewarding climbing after the somewhat rough first pitch. With beautiful wall and slab passages and some cracks also quite varied.

The abseiling piste for the routes in the eastern part of the wall starts on the far left, at the exit of route line 2005. A fixed rope leads from the ridge to the first abseiling point.
Predominantly wall and slab climbing, plus intersections and a crack chimney. Some rough passages and grass strips should not be concealed. Nevertheless the most rewarding route on the eastern zwerchwand.

In spite of several rough stretches it was a worthwhile route, the first complete ascent of which was snatched away by two thieving pensioners from the Allgäu.

The route doesn't go all the way up, but offers interesting climbing sections throughout. Ideal after a longer tour or in uncertain weather conditions, as the climbing can be broken off at any time. The route is reminiscent of Richard Stängl from Immenstadt who crashed in the Bernese Oberland.

Of the new routes, those with the most alpine touch, as they are partly rough and somewhat inhomogeneous. For safe 5-person climbers with alpine experience, who sometimes take a hook without getting red, an alternative to the classics.
