    Mountaineering

    You have to go through the chimney if you want to reach the Lower and Upper Forchezkopf or the Grosser Wieshorn. The chimney is secured with a rope. Using a via ferrata set isn't absolutely necessary, but it's good for your mental health. The chimney is about 15 meters long, followed by a short section with a rope, maybe 5 meters. It's not really a problem; in my opinion, it doesn't qualify for category A.
