On an attempt to solo climb the Nadelgrat (AD, III), I was stopped by a vertical rappel at the Chli Dirruhorn. After an attempt to avoid the rappel to the right, I decided to downclimb the ridge as it was getting late... Despite plenty of loose rock, the scramble up the ridge was fun with insane exposure at some points.
