Ganz nett, einige Abseilstellen und für die Kürze tatsächlich recht vertikal. Beim ersten hohen Abseiler wäre nach drei Metern rechts ein Zwischenstand, allerdings schwer zu erreichen. Beim zweiten hohen Wasserfall besser den Stand rechts an der Kante nehmen ( altes Fixseil) als den schwindeligen Haken links. Insgesamt tut man sich mit 2×40m leichter
Quite nice, some abseils and actually quite vertical for the shortness. At the first high rappel there is an intermediate belay after three meters on the right, but it is difficult to reach. On the second high waterfall, it's better to take the belay on the right of the edge (old fixed ropes) than the dizzy anchor on the left. Overall, it is easier with 2×40m

Einige Haken drehen, Seile könnte man nächstes Jahr mal austauschen.
Turn some anchors, ropes could be replaced next year.

Schöne Tour für schlechtes Wetter, kurz und knackig. Insgesamt zwar nur wenig stellen, dafür aber lohnenswert!
Alle Verankerungen Top.
Nice tour for bad weather, short and crisp. Only a few pitches overall, but well worth it!
All anchors top.
