The „Schwarze Wand“ on the Northern Fuchskarspitze is a well-secured, enjoyable climb and it has a beautiful, solid cliff up from the third pitch. Above all, it offers climbers who don´t have that much experience in alpine climbing a good exercise in building mid-route belays and in orientation.

Landschaftlich grandiose Überschreitung des längsten Grates der Allgäuer Alpen. Anspruchsvolle Kletterstellen bis in den IV. Grad, ausgesetztes Gehgelände in brüchigem Fels, mehrere Abseilstellen und nicht zuletzt die schiere Länge der Unternehmung bilden ein Anforderungsprofil, dem nur erfahrene Allround-Alpinisten gewachsen sind.

A truly wild dance on a knife edge. Only alpine climbers experienced in steep grabs, who can keep a cool head even in brittle, poorly secured rocky terrain, will be able to enjoy what is perhaps the most elegant ascent of the „uerischsten“ mountain. The exposure on the sharp and steep ridge edge is enormous, even by Höfats standards! An unforgettable dream tour for the aforementioned clientele.

Der finale Anstieg auf den Ostgipfel: Entweder hart auf der Kante (dann III in gutem Fels), oder links der Kante auf erdigen Tritten (unschwierig, aber oft feucht und extrem luftig!)
