Conditions: |
The face
itself was nearly ideal: No rock, neve in the lower half, ice (but
not too hard) in the upper half. |
Comment: |
- The base-town,
Sulden is a ghost-town in May - nearly all facilities are
closed.
- The Tabaretta-hut
has a winter-room which is open without a key
- For the ambitious
folks, the tour could be combined with the Koenigsspitze
North-Face by descending either the Minnigerrode-Rinne or
the Hintergrat-Ridge to the Hintergrat-Hut (key needed there,
ask in Sulden)
- The descent over
the 'normal' way (Payer-Hut) is strenous at this time of the
year: lots of wet snow.
