Nice even climb, not as heavy as the other side but definitely worth it, for descending it is also a must!

The first part is great, but the last line from Ruhestein until Hornisgrinde not really interesting, from here better go for Schliffkopf. The view of the plain from Hornisgrinde is quite nice.
