Routes
The Hintere Goinger Halt counts as one of the easiest and therefore one of the most frequented peaks in the Wilder Kaiser. Its summit cross may be reached in 40 minutes from the Ellmauer Tor on a straightforward, signed climbing path, although secure footing is required. On fine, summer's days numerous visitors jostle one another on the very small summit.
The Vordere Goinger Halt is clearly more challenging and also accessible from the Ellmauer Tor. The route initially follows the climb to the Hinterer Goinger Halt, but bends right at a wind gap and follows a climbing route, that is only signed by cairns (Steinmandl). Therefater the route is rocky and exposed; requiring an unsecured UIAA grade II climb. The summit which has a summit register is reached after a good hour and offers not only a wide panorama, but also more peace than the Hintere Goinger Halt.
A popular climbing route at grade III runs from the Predigtstuhl wind gap over the northern arête to the summit of the Hintere Goinger Halt.
