Martin74Route Climbed: Hintergrat Date Climbed: 24th August 2003  Sucess!

We started at 4:30 am at the Hintergrat Hut. It was a nice day and we were "leading" a group of about 20 people at the first climbing section. We were very lucky that we were the first. After that section we went further on faster then the other groups. After 5 hours we reached the summit. The descent to the Payer Hut was interesting and not so easy as we imagined.

All at all it was a great day.

Route was in bad condition, only pure ice and many stones was falling down. In case this we have to sleep about 120 m under the summit. The summit we reached next day at 9:00 AM.

We camped an Trafoi and walked up to Payer Hütte. Due to the bad weather conditions we spent the next day in, and around the house, and attemped the peak on the day after. The terrain is pretty various, rocky ridges, dense crevassed glacier, steep snowy slopes. Unfortunately the clouds covered everything just before we reached the summit.

We were lucky, because only our party of three, and three other climbers summited on that day, so it was not the usual crowded normal route.

Climbing conditions were good, but unfortunately the weather not. The summit was in clouds, heavy wind and sometimes a little snow!

The ascent was not so bad and we climbed the difficult parts quite easy. But we had more troubles at the descent along the normal route - we didn't expect it to be so difficult and we were exhausted - so we were very glad when we reached "Payerhütte" after about 10 hours!

after we failed because of too much snow a year ago, this time we had good conditions and a great day in the mountains. It took us the whole day to get to the Payer hut. Some pictures of the climb at the Hintergrat route's page or even more here

We failed some 100 meters below the summit. Too risky due to avalanches, so we better gave up. I also underestimated how slow we ´would bewith all that snow. So it would have been a very long night if we continued. It was a wonderfull day over the clouds ...

On a very fine September sunday, we climbed Ortler with some 100 others from an crowded Payer Hut. But the personell on the hut did well despite the overcrowding (diner in shifts, people sleeping in the staircase). On the summit day there was a little jam on the short stretch of rock where most people use a rope. But all this did not diminish our enjoyment of the climb and the beutiful views.
