Leisurely
With the weather looking better than it had been 5 years earlier, I took it easy on my way up from the Lodnerhütte. On the summit, I was almost in the clouds and the nearby higher peaks were invisible.
From the shoulder just below the summit I started following the trail to the Zielspitze. Alas, the clouds didn't budge, and not much later, while still on the southern slopes of the Blasiuszeiger, I changed my mind and instead of traversing the Zielspitze I descended via the Königshof Alm.

A quicky
First time was 4 September 2007. The weather was deteriorating, so I hiked up and down from the Lodnerhütte real fast. It was freezing on the summit and I didn't stay longer than to take a couple of pictures. Meran was still sunny, but to the north, bad weather was fast approaching.
