Directions

The entrance is at the lowest point of the north ridge, which can be reached via a scree field. Climb up a very steep and exposed ledge (wire rope, row of staples). A slab crossing to the left leads to a chimney-like gully, through which you reach easier terrain (resting bench). In sparsely wooded terrain (some ropes), pass the junction of the old path, cross to the right along insurance and then climb up a gully. After a secured crack, you reach walking terrain with some easy secured sections and very easy rock climbing. Use wooden ladders to reach a short section of ridge. Then climb up the right-hand edge of a gully, descend briefly and reach the ridge again. After a short, secured section, there is walking terrain until a traverse to the left leads into a saddle. A short, secured gully leads upwards to the climbing book. This is followed by walking terrain to the border ridge (some easy secured sections). On this ridge you first reach the summit cross, which is located slightly below the highest point, and immediately afterwards the actual summit (Buch).

Additional information

One place in the lower part B/C, especially in the upper part mostly easier (A/B).

Descent: From the exit follow the marked path ascending to the summit of Hochstuhl. On Slovenian territory, descend to the saddle between Hochstuhl and Kleinstuhl. Then descend on a gravel path (unpleasant) or through scree straight down into a cirque. At a fork in the path, keep left (inscription on rocks: "Klagenfurter Hütte"). Climbing again, you pass the Bielschitzasattel (state border) and descend a scree slope (briefly secured) down to the Klagenfurter Hütte. From the hut on the forest road or on the hiking trail back to the ascent path.
