The Gimpel is one of the highest mountains of the Tannheim Alps with a peak height of 2176 metres and its normal route over the SE flank and east ridge is a popular destination for demanding mountain hikers. The Gimpel offers climbers ascents of different kinds.
While the south side offers short, sunny pleasure routes, the rather gloomy north side offers a multitude of rarely used long and alpine climbing routes.
One example is the striking "Schräge Riss". However, the north face primarily describes the new, modern or renovated routes and the climbing garden routes on the left-hand side of the wall.

Access
From Musau via the Otto Mayr Hütte:
From the Otto Mayr Hut, cross the stream and partly pathlessly up the scree slope to the wall (approx. 30 min.).
From Grän:
From the valley station of the cable car to the Füssener Jöchle on the hiking trail to the summit station (45 min.). Keep right and follow the signposted path to the Otto Mayr Hut. Shortly before the hut, cross under the north face (from the car park approx. 2h). If you use the cable car, the ascent time is considerably reduced, but you will arrive relatively late at the start.

The area is of course especially interesting in high summer because of its shady location.
The rock has - especially in the more difficult routes - Oberreintal quality and since the protection is also sports climbing, nothing stands in the way of climbing enjoyment. However, you should have some experience, because the belt from which the routes start requires surefootedness.
