Description    Deutsch  ·  English

The Cache is hidden in the cleft between the Dachl ('roof') and Hochtor-Summit. It's hidden in a place where you can search without any kind of danger.

You should be able to climb up to UIAA II+.
One can find climbing routes up to UIAA IX in the north face of the Hochtor group, if this is to easy for you. Since getting infos about this area in english is pretty difficult you can mail me for a thorough description of the various paths and escape possibilities.

Getting the cache in one day is pretty strenuous (more than 6000 feet ascent, depending on which way you go down between 12h and 9h), consider spending a night in either the Haindlkarhütte or the Hesshütte.
If you want to continue upwarts to the Hochtor remeber that there a no real easy path down this mountain, and that there are still some difficult parts in the headwall.
Bring at least a helmet.
