jckThree times: Normal (2008), Stuedlgrat (2007), Hoffmansweg (2005)  Sucess!

Been on the top three times. Had also two unsuccesfull attempts.

Pallavicinirinne- 11-13 June 2009 (unsuccesfull attempt)
Radek (brade) and me reached to Glockner Bivak after 7 hours of climbing. Deep snow, no traces, crevasses. Spent two nights in the bivak with some tries to reach to base of the couloir. Descended to FJH in snowstorm on saturday morning.

Normal from Stuedl Hut (ski route)- 4 May 2008 (solo).
Climbed the route following the skiers. Tiring because of melted snow /much easier with skies/. Suprisingly good conditions on the summit ridge: didn't use the rope I had in my backpack, only crampones and two ice axes.

Groggerrinne- 4 May 2008 (unsuccesfull attempt)
Radek (brade) and me tried the route, but had to get back because of really nasty snow conditions. We reached about 3300 m. Later that day I got down and climbed the normal route.

Stuedlgrat- 15 August 2007
Climbed with Radek (brade). Fantastic route, solid rock, good snow conditions. Very overcrowded- about 50 people climbing the ridge, many parties shouldn't be there. Guides take people who even don't know how to use a rope- horrible (if they are above you try to overcome them as fast as possible!). Spent much time waiting. Very bad snow conditions in Glocknerteil (muddy- never been so filthy), to many people- very dangerous!
Overall- superb but the crowds kill the fun of climbing.

Hoffmansweg- 12 August 2005
We left Hoffmanhutte about midday and in the afternoon reached Erzherzog Johann Hutte and there spent a night in tent-it's forbidden but we climbed a little above the hut and there it was no problem. After snowy and cold night we reached the summit about 9 am in great weather. Summit ridge was very crowded- spent much time waiting. Descending the same route.

I climbed the peak with one of my friend from Kals in two days. Due to bad weather and my aching knee we tented on the glacier below the Erherzog Johannes Hütte and on the next day we reached the peak. It is a beautiful route and mountain so I can recommend it to everyone :)

One of the most interesting climbs I ever made - valley glacier, steep ascending on morrain, glacier again, some snow, few beers in at Erzherzog-Johann hutte, some nice and easy climbing and there we were :-))



Beautiful weather, picturesque views from the top.



Descending via Leitertal - long, tiring but beautiful.



The only negative experience - austrian guides rushing unexperienced and tired hikers near the summit along our group with stupid comments (to us), traffic jams near the summit.

Very nice route, when there are not to many people in it. Descending the normal route is terrible, its busier then the traffic around Munich at 8.00 o'clock!!!!!

mccRoute Climbed: Normal Route via Studlhutte Date Climbed: 21 September 2002  Sucess!

Nice climb especially from Kleinglockner to the summit , unfortunately , all we could see was the Erzherzog-Johann Hutte for about one minute, On the other hand thanks to the time of year and the weather we were practically alone. Take care on the Glocknerleitl it can be quite dangerous.

frombelowsealevelRoute Climbed: Normal Route Date Climbed: August 12th. 2004  Sucess!
Started climb round 7am from Studlhutte. Reached Adlersruhe in 1,5 hours over Kodnitzkees. From there in 2 hours to the summit. Wasn't as crowded as expected, but still some delay at Glocknerscharte. Unfortunately summit was misty, so no great view from Austria's highest. Wasn't lucky that week, while on Grossvenediger no sign of Glockner and now vice versa. Back in ErzHerzogJohanhutte round midday. Stayed there overnight, to walk back to Lucknerhaus next day. About 5cm snow during night, nice for photos.

BennoRoute Climbed: Normal route Date Climbed: 21st August 2003  Sucess!

Solo climb

Route: Departing at Lucknerhaus (1918m) at 6:00, reaching summit (3798m) at around 13:00, staying 45min, returning to Lucknerhaus parking lot at around 20:00.

After trying to summit Grossglockner solo and in a single day in October 2002, where I turned around 40 m below Kleinglockner I achieved the goal one year later in the great summer of 2003. After reaching the summit I was there for about 15 minutes totally by myself with perfect blue sky before the next crowds moved in. During the descent on the ridge below Adlersruhe there was a thunderstorm passing through. Because of many roped parties moving slowly, descending fast was impossible. Nevertheless I returned safely after having had a great day.

Very nice climb. Weather was a little bit cloudy during the ascent but when we reached the summit it cleared. We climbed via Stüddlehütte. Quite easy and enjoyable climb!

We made it under perfect weather conditions in 3 hours from the saddle (Luisenscharte). Great views on Venediger- and Reiseferner-gruppe. Many people there. Surprisingly, no snow on the ridge, even on the normal route and in the saddle between the summit and Klein Glockner.

Very long and interesting but crowded and demanding. The dificulties increase

toward the end. It took to me and my wife Annica 13 hours to finished!



Nice climb!

LudRoute Climbed: Normal from Studlhutte Date Climbed: May 1998

We went up from Lucknerhaus directly to Erzherzog Johann Hutte, and the next day to Kleinglockner, but bad weather forced us to return. In the fog and the drifting snow the sound of the house's bell lead us back to the hut. After an hour rest, in the deep snow we struggled down to Lucknerhaus. That was my most tiring climb ever.

In Dec-2000 we made another try but reached only the Studlhutte, and climbed the peak above the Hut.

I hope one day I will summit via Studlgrat, or Pallavicini route.
