Since I was on the Chaiserstock for the first time in 2022, they have significantly defused the two "key points" (at the couloir up to the Chaisertor there are now iron steps and the point at the top with the chain where you have to hoist yourself up with a lot of strength is now also additionally secured with iron steps and a rope 👍) . Of course, the path remains airy and scrambling, but is wonderfully secured with a rope. I've seen those who have secured themselves with a via ferrata set, of course it's also possible, but not necessary. A head for heights and sure-footedness is of course a must, the path remains a T4+ and is a wonderful Kraxlige path for experienced hikers with a great panorama from the summit 😍😄👌

The most exciting part of the Chaiserstock ascent is the secured and in places fairly exposed ridge section between Chaisertor and the broad ridge of the summit. You should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights here.
