About peak Große Burgwand

Logged on Vrcholovka 1x in total. Vrchol Große Burgwand was added here by Jiří Králík and info was completed by Jiří Králík.

This is a beautiful climbing peak UIAA-II alpine style. I mapped the entire Gr.Burgwand, marked the climbing line, and found a suitable descent. It is undoubtedly the most interesting endeavor in the Windberggruppe.

For those interested, I can provide materials for route orientation, a sketch of the line, and a sketch of a safe descent for a small tip, as it took a lot of effort and time to find the route in the unknown, which included drone mapping and a few unsuccessful ascent attempts. It is possible that I am the first Czech to summit this peak. :)

(Austrian websites have sparse and mainly incorrect information and wrong photos from the simple Kleiner Burgwand, so be careful, this is no ordinary hiking with poles, but a dangerous ascent).
