The major attractions of the crag on the Wilderer Kanzel are its unique location and the variety of its climbs in all levels of difficulty. The rock face between Kleines Törl and Bergsteigergrab offers short and easy routes on the practice rock for beginners, as well as interesting routes up to 25 metres long and up to the difficulty level 8a+. Above all, however, what makes a visit to this climbing area so rewarding are the views of the summits of the Ellmauer Halt, Treffauer, Kaiserkopf and the main ridge of the Alps to the south.
