Description:
Classic arete climb on limestone. Mostly mellow, but the crux pitch felt pretty hard for a 5b+... There are harder alternatives (5c+ to 6a+) on three pitches (see topo). The first one was ok. The second one would have required a dicey traverse, and the third one some moves on loose holds before you can clip the first bolt.Descent Options:
Continue arete to peak, downclimb or short rap. We used the "2. Ausfluchtmöglichkeit" (emergency exit): follow the short visible trail down from a notch, do a 60m rap (double ropes) from good anchor. Cross over to the hiking trail from there.

Second ascent by:
climbing with a sheepish soundtrack - bah bah !
The name "Schafberg" (sheep mountain) is there for a reason...
Despite the easyish grade, this route should not be underestimated - some route finding skills required. We passed on the second and third pitches of the harder alternative, as the second one starts out with a dicey traverse, and the third one is a bit loose.
