After the ladder there are a lot of climbing passages, partly secured with wire ropes but partly unsecured directly on the ridge. Only recommended for experienced mountaineers! At the end of May 2021 a lot of slushy snow that makes the whole thing very slippery and dangerous!

I was there in mid-June 2021 and did the tour via Breitenberg-Hohe Gänge-Heubatspitze-Rotspitze. I have no idea how it is from the other side, but coming from the Breitenberg I found the Hohe Gänge relatively chilled, the ladder looks spectacular but you can hold on tight and the subsequent safety measures should also be sufficient to walk this small path without a via ferrata set can if the sun is shining. Overall a great experience.
