Characteristics --------------- Half the height of **the Höllengebirge** can be ascended via the wild rock landscape of the **Steinerner Mann** in alpine sport climbing. All routes are very well secured with **10-mm bolts**. Even the approach requires surefootedness. The complete traverse of all peaks and towers should be considered a full-day endeavor. In a highly varied climbing experience, one summit is reached after another until the plateau of the Höllengebirge is finally reached. From the exit of the last pitch to the **Hochleckenhaus**, it is only a few minutes’ walk. The photos do not provide a reliable indication of the relative sizes of the individual towers. The actual pitch lengths can be found in the route list. Approach -------- **Duration:** about 50 minutes From the parking lot near the **Hochlecken ski lifts**, the approach initially follows the forest road, past the ski hut and across the slope. Directly across from there, the trail to **the Kienklause** begins in the forest. A few meters further up the slope, the **Valerieweg** begins. Follow this trail for about **10 to 15 minutes** to the **Steinerner-Mann-Rinne**. The turnoff for the **Steinerner-Mann-Steig** is marked by cairns. From there, the approach leads uphill along the fall line. The forest in the ravine thins out a bit further up. The trail, which is sometimes difficult to make out, is marked repeatedly with cairns. From the gully, the approach keeps to the left toward the base of the first rock faces. Then follow more distinct trail marks along the rock faces up to a cairn on the left side of the path. Through a short, narrow gap between a rock face and a house-sized boulder, you reach the start of the first pitch. **Source:** *Climbing in the Höllengebirge* by Sabine Greifeneder and Walter Perathoner.
