If people talk about alpine climbing in the Oberallgäu, one immediately thinks of the typical grass-covered mountains. The "Höfats" (IV) in particular awaits mountaineers with steep and challenging climbing walls with fantastic views. Other peaks that wait to be climbed are "Trettachspitze" (IV), "Gimpel" and "Schneck".

Bayerländerweg (Western Wengenkopf) by Christian

Die schattige Nordwand - der ideale Ort an 30°-Tagen
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick in die erste der zwei 5- Seillängen. Hier sollte man bereits gut im Schuh stehen.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Nach den zwei schuttigen Geh-Seillängen verläuft sich der Pfeiler in der doch recht steilen Wand.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick hinaus in das Retterschwanger Tal durch das der lange Zustieg erfolgt
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick in die zweite Schlüsselseillänge (5-). Schon der Start ist steil - die Crux selbst ist dann sogar überhangend. Verglichen mit der ersten 5- Stelle eher kräftig als technisch.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Nach der Schlüsselstelle kurz mal ausruhen und den Tiefblick genießen
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Doch auch danach geht es steil weiter (4+)
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blück hinüber ins Gängele (tiefste Einsattelung) über das später wieder zurück zum bike-depot abgestiegen wird.

Das Gelände schaut im Rückblick deutlich grasiger und schuttiger aus, als es sich beim Klettern anfühlt. Besser so, als andersrum.

Der perfekte Platz für das Wandbuch am Standplatz der 12./13.SL. Wenn man doch von einem Gewitter überrascht werden sollte, wäre in der kleinen Höhle rechts noch der "beste" Ort um es auszusitzen. Dennoch nicht zu empfehlen!

Blick auf die begangene Linie vom bike-depot aus. Erst ganz spät am Nachmittag dreht die Sonne in die Wand.

Über die Krottenspitzen - der längste Allgäuer Grat by Christian

Mit den ersten Sonnenstrahlen am Einstieg.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Der Fürschießer leuchtet im ersten Licht. Die Wolkendecke über dem Alpenvorland lässt Herbst-feeling aufkommen (die einstelligen Temperaturen auch)
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Der schräge, abdrängende Riss am ersten Turm stellt die zwingende Schlüsselstelle der Tour dar (IV-)
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Wenigstens werden Wiederholer gewarnt, bevor es ernst wird.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Der zweite Turm mit der glatten Platte zu Beginn (III+), der brüchigen Rechts-Links-Schleife (II) und dem knackigen Finale (kurz IV, dann III)
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick vom Krummen Turm auf den bisher zurückgelegten Gratverlauf
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Blick vom Plattenschuss der Krottenspitze auf den soeben abgekletterten Krummen Turm
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Erst die Arbeit, dann die Arbeit.
Photo: Christian Reiser, Outdooractive Editors
Der Abstiegsumweg über den Muttlerkopf lohnt sich allein schon wegen dem Blick auf die gerade begangene Linie.

Das Gebiet um die Kemptner Hütte ist das Murmeltier-Paradies schlechthin!

Steil baut sich die Südkante (rechte Begrenzungskante) beim Zustieg ins Hornbachjoch auf.

Die Kletterei an der Kante ist von Beginn an ausgesetzt.

Links dominiert die grüne Höfats...

...rechts die graue Hornbachkette...

...und oben steiler, abdrängender Dolomit.

Bereits im oberen Drittel der Kante angelangt

Ein bescheidenes Holzkreuz ziert den höchsten Punkt des Nördlichen Höllhorns
