This "F3" east face climb is the recommended start for any of the east face routes on Der Freischutz.  It is about 200 feet long and provides for a summy climb on a winter afternoon.  The easiest route up this solid face is on the northside.

Descent: Downclimb about 25 feet from the summit along the north ridge.  Chimmey down the west side using a large boulder near the base of Der Freischutz.
