The "Irg" climbing routes
In 2016, the Irg-1 via ferrata had to be torn down due to disagreements between the states of Upper Austria and Styria . Alternatively, the Irg-2 via ferrata (1250 m, C / D) was built, the entrance to which is a few hundred meters to the west. The name goes back to the first ascent of the Dachstein south face, Georg "Irg" Steiner .
