Best routes to Gimpel South Face and East Ridge Scramble
Tips
Even the normal way up to the bullfinch requires climbing in II.Schwierigkeitsgrad. The route through the southern flank and the eastern ridge is not secured and exposed in some places.
Anyone who is free from giddiness and sure-footed, has fun at the Kraxeln, who comes here fully at its expense.translated by

Nice Kraxelpassage to the bullfinch and as described "rockfall vulnerable", so a helmet is recommended.

The Gimpel Normalweg runs in the upper part and lower quarter with easy climbing passages (II) in steep terrain. To find the way, simply follow the stripped rock. Every now and then there is a weathered red dot, sometimes also safety hooks, even if they are not always in the optimal places. All in all, everything is easier than it initially looks, but you should have some alpine experience. For this you will be rewarded with great views.
