We go the wide way from carpark by Reisachfale among the lake Reisachsee as far as green field Kot Alm, where the way goes thinner and continues in switchbacks till the cottage Preintaler hutte. From the cottage we stand first slowly, than steeper to the saddle Niedere Klafer scharte - 2280 asl (above the sea level), from where we descent about 30 meters to first small lake and overcome the gorge Klaferkessel, where about 25 small lakes are. Summit Greifenberg stand in front of us. We must overcome it. The way leads through bigger detritus as far as saddle Obere Klaffer sch. - 2552 asl. From here we stand under rapid wind (saddle is very narrow) somewhere among belaying to the summit Greifenberg. The slope to the cottage is very sheer and overcome it heavy bags was realy exhausted. Beautiful grassy pitch with water we find above the cottage for bivouac. Rapid wind still blows so we move about 3 minutes down to the valey under the wall. The way to the saddle Golling scharte - 2326 asl. is relatively long and sheer. It is windy again, so we hide behind stone wall and give stamp into passport.  From the saddle we continue the same way as far as the place (2640 asl), where the way divide into two, one Normal weg and next Nordwest grat. The way over northwest edge is quite difficult. It leads intransigent direct over the edge and it is not belayed. It is very nice and funy during summer, but during October under strong wind and frozen rocks we can not recommend warmly, but it is achievable. Under new snow it is not possible to overcome. It is long way to the summit Hochgoling over the edge from the cottage. We descent from summit cross among Normal way and than the same way to the cottage. From the cottage we follow the switchbacks as far as dusty way and than to the car.
