On the way from the Furggele Pass to the Ortstock there is a very short climb to tackle. The place is provided with a chain and the rock has good places where you can place the feet. This short climbing site is not located at an exposed point and therefore does not pose a problem and is for climbers trained thanks to the good rock structure without the help of the chain can be overcome. The other ascent / descent is on scree-like ground and requires some surefootedness. The view up is gorgeous, but even on the ascent is fantastic.
The last part of the way from the Glattalp to the pass Ortstock I personally felt more demanding than the ascent from the pass to the Ortstock. The scree underground to the pass height has a neat slope and on the fine gravel it requires good surefootedness.

The most difficult part is the climb through the steep scree field to the top of the pass. 3 steps up, 1 step down.
On the descent I joined tracks before the Furggele further south of the path (towards Glattalp). Always stay to the left of the stream on grass verges. At the very bottom, just before turning onto the hiking trail, there is a very short T4+ section that has to be scrambled.
All in all, much the better option, even on the climb.

Even with alpine-tested quadrupeds well mastered - just to the right of the crevice high ...
