This small but charming sector offers 12 routes, ranging from 6b to 8a+. The routes are well bolted on a 20m tall, (slightly) overhanging granite block in the forest. This place stay relatively cool, also on warm days and comes into the shade in the afternoon.
Climbing in Astlehn has a long history. Many of the routes were set up already in the early 80's. Routes are bolted by Hansjörg Auer, Matthias Burstscher, Reinhard Schiestl who are also the fathers of (hard) sport climbing in the valley.
Reinhard Schiestl opened the first 8a in Ötztal, Exorzist, as early as 1985.
