The small halt is a 2116  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Wilder Kaiser of the Kaiser Mountains ( Northern Limestone Alps ) in Tyrol . It is one of the most famous climbing mountains in the Wilder Kaiser.

location

The Kleine Halt is upstream of the Gamshalt or Ellmauer Halt to the north and thus the northernmost part of the Haltstock. It slopes down on all sides with steep rock faces - except for the south side, which forms a ridge that flows into the steep upswing to the Gamshalt to the south . The flat 900 m high northwest face is the highest rock face in the Kaiser Mountains, it is home to numerous well-known climbing routes. The peak belongs to the municipality of Kufstein .

The base for climbing tours on this mountain is the Anton-Karg-Haus and Hans-Berger-Haus on the northwest flank in the Kaisertal . The mountain was first climbed by A. Bonnet and B. Schlechter (called Mallhansl) on July 14, 1880 on the occasion of a descent from the Ellmauer Halt.

The small stop is located on the northwest edge of the death chair (1745 meters). This was first climbed by Georg Winkler and A. Zott in 1886.

Routes

The easiest access to the summit is a via ferrata , the Kaiserschützensteig . It has the difficulty B / C and I +, several places require effort. It is long, strenuous and technically demanding. It is much more sparsely insured than usual via ferratas and exposed (long passages even in steep terrain without a wire rope, only sparsely defused by iron stirrups). In addition, there is a considerable approach and a large difference in altitude to master from the deep Kaisertal . Starting points are the Anton-Karg-Haus and the Hans-Berger-Haus . The Kaiserschützensteig is scenic and crosses all three peaks of the Haltstock: Kleine Halt, Gamshalt and Ellmauer Halt, whereby Kleine Halt and Gamshalt can also be bypassed (each branch with a branch to the summit). It offers impressive views. A good 3 hours ascent from the start (Oberer Scharlinger Boden) without a detour to the peaks of Kleiner Halt and Gamshalt, with these peaks around 1.5 hours longer. Access to the entrance from the Hans-Berger-Haus 1.5 hours, alternatively from the Gruttenhütte via Rote-Rinn-Scharte in 2.5 hours to the entrance. Surefootedness and a head for heights as well as climbing skills required, as well as helmet, via ferrata set and climbing harness. Very well marked:

  • Access from the Obere Scharlinger Boden to the summit of the Kleine Halt: Follow the Kaiserschützensteig, which branches off and begins on the east side of the Obere Scharlingerboden from the marked path that leads up from the Kaisertal to the Rote-Rinn-Scharte . First it goes up the past before the via ferrata crosses up and down to the left into the green gully. This goes up to its upper end without safety, where the Stichsteig branches off to the summit of the Kleine Halt. Partly without safety, it goes up to the ridge (I) and over this to the summit cross with book. Time required from Oberer Scharlinger Boden about 1.5 hours.
  • Access from the summit of the Ellmauer Halt to the summit of the Kleine Halt: Follow the Kaiserschützensteig, which begins below the Ellmauer Halt summit cross, initially slightly downwards to the north, later on or on the west side of the north ridge towards Gamshalt. Before the summit, it goes unsecured through the green hollow, before it goes right (west side) with crossing the summit structure of the Gamshalt down into the green gully to the branch to the summit of the Kleine Halt, from there further see above. Time required about two hours. It should be noted that the Kaiserschützensteig is more difficult to climb on the descent than on the ascent.

Almost all major climbing routes lead over the 900 meter high northwest face of the mountain. Representative are:

  • Enzenspergerführe (UIAA III-IV)
  • Northwest Face (UIAA VI-)
  • Record Direttisima (UIAA VI-)
