There is no approach, i think that pic was taken from the carpark! The smaller crags around the back are about 5 mins easy walk. Lots of easy bolted stuff there, guide not really needed on the smaller walls. The main dohlenfels (pictured) is mainly v hard sport. Try the one up the middle, its great fun :)
Sounds like the climb you describe is the ridge to the summit? Looked good, i wouldve liked to try it but we ran outta daylight.
