On the final climb to Litnisschrofen two short climbing trails lead up to the summit. While the left leads upwards over rubble and crumbly rock, quite unpleasantly, in a steep gully, the right riser leads a little exposed, but up in solid rock with good kicks and handles. Both crates are well secured with wire ropes.

In case anyone wonders where the strange name comes from:

In 1774 Peter Anich recorded a Litten Spitz in his AtlasTyrolensis. In Schmitt’s map of southwest Germany from 1797, a Liehnes mountain is recorded. A possible origin of the name could come from the dialect word "Verlitt", which means something like hardship or plague. This could mean the arduous ascent through the mountain pine thicket from the Strindenscharte. The ending of the name refers to the shape of the rock as a crag.
In addition to the name used today and its history, there is a second type of naming: Tennenbergkopf. It is used for the first time in 1810 in a tax register: Thennenbergkopf and Wald am Thennenberg. Due to the border description there, only the litniscroft can be clearly meant as "head above the fir-covered mountain". This would especially suit the appearance of the southern flank.

Ascent: The summit of the Litnisschrofen can only be reached via the southern flank with a marked and developed path. This branches off from the road at the Gräner Ödenalpe. There are several ways to get there. This is relatively easy to do from Nesselwängle from the beginning of the driveway or from the top station of the chairlift. This is also possible from Haldensee through the Strindental or from Rauth over the Enziansteig. From the junction, the path then crosses the southern flank under the summit structure and leads into a very crumbly and steep gully. This is insured with iron chains and requires surefootedness. At its end is the west ridge towards the summit. The last part of the way requires a head for heights.
A more challenging route to the summit is the ascent of the west ridge from the Strindenscharte. The difficulties here have the 1st degree and require "alpine experience". Climbing over the northeast ridge corresponds to grade IV
