Difficulty: 2 pitches VII+, otherwise VI- to VII-
.The name is meant ironically. The „Almost like in the hall“ has a total of six pitches üngen over 130 climbing metres. Crack climbing characterises the route. The first and last pitches are the two most difficult pitches with VII+. At the top it is quite exposed, especially the free abseiling. The 2nd pitch unfortunately runs a bit in the forest. However, you should not be deterred by this, as it continues beautifully straight after.
Note: The needles of the spruce trees standing on Bändern are deposited in cracks and holds. Every climber should please clean the rock for 2 minutes per day that he spends there, so that the tours remain well climbable. A small tool is available at the foot of the wall. Thank you very much.

Access: (approx. 20 min)
.From the inn in Au in the Zillergrund, follow the road up two hairpin bends. At the second bend, turn left at the concrete road wall and follow the meadow up to the forest. Small yellow dots on rocks indicate the path, which leads steeply through the forest. You can already see the wall well below from the inn. The „Almost like in the hall“ is the ninth route from the left. Next to it on the left is the „Pickel aus dem Sack“ (VII) and next to it on the right is the „Eierschwammerlsackerl“ (VIII-/VIII). Some of the routes are posted on the rock.
Caution: The GPX track is not an expired track, but was freely routed with the aerial photo as reference. I.e. the start of the route and the climbing route itself (trail type: pathless) are not exact and are only intended to give an approximate idea.

Leave the Inntal motorway A12 at the Wiesing junction and take the B169 into the Zillertal. Shortly before Mayerhofen, turn left into the Zillergrund. The toll booth is located above the long tunnel. The toll costs € 8.00/car (as of 2021). Only 100 cars are allowed into the Zillergrund per day. Alternatively, you can also travel comfortably by bus.
- Public transportation
-
Take the Innsbruck Kufstein railway line to Jenbach and then the Zillertalbahn to Mayerhofen. From there, continue with bus no. 8328 into the Zillergrund to the Gasthof in der Au.
- Parking
-
Large car park at the Gasthof in der Au, alternatively you can also park a little closer to the entrance at the 2nd bend (right turn) after the Gasthof. However, please do not obstruct agriculture and forestry here. However, as this only saves you 5 minutes, you should simply park directly at the inn.
