Climbs

The way to the saddle between the peaks can be reached either via the Solsteinhaus and the Großer Solstein or on two steep slopes from the south from the Neue Magdeburger Hütte .
The transition from the Hohe Warte to the east of the Gamswartsattel has the difficulty UIAA III and leads directly over the initially extremely sharp east ridge. Several difficult climbing routes lead through the north face .
