Austria
The Wilder Kaiser is the compact limestone range above Ellmau, Scheffau and Kufstein in Tyrol, long known for serious alpine rock. Since about 2010 local climbers have added fully bolted routes on the lower tiers of the Treffauer above Scheffau, in the Schneekar on the north side and at the Multerkar on the south-west side. The start for these is the pay car park at Wegscheid below Gasthof Jägerwirt, with a walk of 1 to 2 hours. The high north-facing routes are best from June to October.

Nine pitches of easy slabs and water runnels beside the Treffauer normal route, UIAA 5 at most if you take the easy variant on pitch 4. Lots of bolts and friendly ground make it one of the most popular routes in the Schneekar. The rock is not solid everywhere and the walk-in is two hours.

A short alpine sport route in the Schneekar that steepens as it goes: a scrambling start, fine water runnels on rough rock, then a smooth slab into an overhang on pitch 4. The crux is UIAA 7 to 7+ and can be aided on the bolts.
