Waterfall in the Kaiser Mountains

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall did not have much water during our visit, but it is always beautiful. The water has cut great grooves in the stone. The area around is breathtaking!

Exposed Section at Schneekar

Highlight • Climb

There are often climbers above this point who sometimes dislodge rocks. It is therefore better to cross quickly to minimize the risk of rockfall.

Exposed Traverse to Treffauer Summit

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Narrow path, which is very exposed on the right (on the ascent) and does not allow any missteps.

Treffauer Summit

Highlight • Summit

Always a nice experience. 👍

Interesting pre-summit of the Treffauer. Easily accessible via the SW-Steig.
The last few meters to the summit are a bit challenging: a steep intersection with wire hangers, which is, however, easier on the outside in the upper part.

Klemmblock (Kaisergebirge)

Highlight • Climb

This point is the key point on the ascent to Tuxeck. In my opinion, however, the area has been sufficiently made safer by the use of footholds. However, the entire section of terrain above the clamping block should not be underestimated, as it is also climbing terrain and is partly grassy and very steep. A misstep would have fatal consequences in the entire area!

October 6, 2022,Treffauer-Tuxeck Runde

Demanding round with many scrambling passages. A few of them would have been unnecessary, I went slightly wrong from Treffauer towards Tuxeck 😒. The last few meters to the Tuxeck are indicated as a III climbing point, but relatively easy to do with the brackets and a short rope further up. The descent is very steep, you have to lend …
