100m, 5 pitches.
The route is situated on the Gaisbauerwand - the north facing wall. It is visible from the parking at the start of the path leading to the main Hollental valley. The parking is on the right hand side of the road, just before the tunnel when driving from the Kaiserbrunn camping. The approach to the wall base is approximately 10 minutes.
Grade of pitch 1,2,3 - VII, pitch 4,5 - VI+
The first two pitches of the route are well protected, mainly by bolts. The third (I would say crux, slightly overhanging) pitch is protected by big number of old slings therfore take lot of quickdraws ~ 20 if you don't feel like skipping some of the slings.
It is probably best to abseil on the other side of the crag, as the walls are more slabby and shorter there. Use of trees is very popular. Descent path might also be available after scrambling up easy terrain but better to check with the guidebook.
