Well secured over the rocky base of the Leiteregg. Then along the ridge, becoming increasingly steeper, and through a short chimney (iron bars). Traverse left above a chasm and climb vertically up on more iron bars to a corner beneath the overhangs. Further steepness leads up and left to an exposed corner and a grassy rib which takes you up to the Leitereggstock (2319 m), with it Edelweiss bench.

Shortly down to the next footpath junction (the righthand branch leads to Hinter Eggstock). Descend steeply down over rock, scree and grassy terrain (being careful not to dislodge stones!) A final rocky cliff is negotiated with the help of a slightly wobbly cable rope ladder leading past an overhang to exit at Tschingel (about 2120 m) ,
