The ladder to heaven is an absolute highlight. It is part of the via ferrata. I would say via ferrata set is indispensable

Descent from Via Ferrata to Normal Route

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The descent to the KS is consistently steep and requires sure-footedness. You should be careful, especially after the effort on the climb. When it's wet, the path becomes a challenge.
The path is often so steep that you have to use your hands to climb it.

Beautiful via ferrata (max. C/D) on the Großer Donnerkogel (2,054m) on the west side of the Dachstein mountains.

From here we had a wonderful view over the beautiful Gosausee directly at the foot of …

GPS very inaccurate!
Needed a little over 6 hours in total, including small breaks and without hectic!
The descent is again very demanding and should definitely be taken into account.
Otherwise just beautiful.
Avoid weekends, could get extremely crowded!
