Conditions: |
Optimal:
~10cm of compact snow cover except the last 100m
(It had snowed the week before) |
|
Time: |
~3 h
Hut-2-Base (Mountet Hut)
~3 h Base-2-Peak
Descent down over the ridge is rather long
depending on target
hut . Going down to Zermatt is also possible |
|
Comment: |
- The route finding
cross the glacier and up the ridge
in the dark is somewhat difficult.
- The Bergschrund and
most of the route are just straightforward
- At the rocky section
beneath the peak you can either go
to the ridge on the left or right (TD-) or straight over the
rocks (TD)
