Thank your for submitting this important mountain so well with nice pictures!
I have some remarks:
-another common spelling is "Grosser Hafner" (so it is in official austrian map), an old name is "Hafnereck"
-The south east summit (3018m) is called Kleiner Hafner or Lanisch-Hafner
-Lanisch-Ochsenhütte is AFAIK no hut where you can sleep, only an alpine pasture.
-correct spelling "Lanisch" instead of "Länisch". You may have read that in Alpenvereinskarte map. But there they try to tell the names in terms of local dialect with only one dot above the "a" what is not a letter but shall give hints how to form the vocal. Complicated…
-Hafner and the neighbor peaks following its SE ridge are the easternmost 3000m-peaks of the alps, therefore I suggest writing:
To the SE side there are the mountains of the so called "Faschaunerkamm" ridge: Karschneideck (2972m), Lanischeck (3022m) and Grosser Sonnblick (aka Malteiner Sonnblick, 3030m). To the northeast Grosser Sonnblick is connected to Mittlerer Malteiner Sonnblick (3000m), that is the easternmost 3000m-peak of the entire alps. No marked paths here – an area for experienced climbers that look for lonelyness…
-First climber was probably a military mapmaker: Ltd. Gorizzuti far back in 1825
-more difficult climbing routes according to the guidebook Ankogel und Goldberggruppe, Bergverlag Rother 1986 (out of print):
a) south face, UIAA II-III, loose rocks
b) east ridge via Kleiner Hafner, from Lanischscharte notch, UIAA II
c) north face: several routes UIAA III-VI
d) north west ridge, from Wastlkarscharte notch, UIAA IV

Untitled CommentWonderful idea and great realisation, Bor. I was also thinking of Hafner, but had only 3 lousy pictures :-(
I'd still wish to climb it once again - from the north.
