Approach
From Haindlkar hut (1121m) follow the signs to "Peternpfad". Follow the Peternpfad until it crosses the big gorge, where the climbing (UIAA I-II) starts. Now still follow the Peternpfad until you come back to the ground of the big gorge. Cross the gorge 5m below the giant block, where the Peternpfad enters the ground of the gorge. Traverse via a ledge towards the edge of the buttress, where you will find a bolt. From here you can see a short dihedral 30m above you, which will lead you to the edge (2 hours from the hut).
