| simonl | easy day from zurich Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2008 | |
| zurich-bern-spitz 06:00 spitz-goppenstein 08:15 goppenstein -wiler bus (connecting) 2.20chf with half tax one-way wiler-lauchernalp cable car (connecting) 8chf with half tax one-way started climb at around 9:50 first section is steep cow meadows, then flat boulder field to lötschenpass with a small patch of snow just before the hut. there is no signpost at the lötschenpass hut to hockenhorn, but the trail is easily picked up following the piles of stones. The section is fairly flat, to the small glacier (quite icy) but ok without crampons. then another ice patch (which can be gone around to the left) I tackled it with crampons and it was fun & safe. the scramble to the summit is quite short and also fun, with no steps requiring use of your hands ( a climber with no arms overtook me here). summit at 13:30 descent easy again,i stopped to make a few rock piles. then back across the ice (I did both sections with crampons this time). had lunch at the hut (soup & sausages), climber with no arms was finishing up already :( retraced the route back, got to lauchernalp about 5 minutes before the 17:18 cablecar (the linedancer convention just emptied), then onto the bus and 18:05 goppenstein train to bern, and back to zurich.. weather was wonderful. my first 3000m climb. | ||

| I climbed the hockenhorn with some friends. Very nice mountain. It was a pity that we had no panoramy because of the foggy weather | |

| Noah (Oregon) | Beautiful Mix Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2007 | |
| This mountain is special because it presents a wide array of alpine experiences. My brother-in-law, Barthold, and I climbed from Gasterntal. We found the mix of steep forest, grassy "alm", wide glacier, rocky outcroppings, amiable hut, high plateau and rocky summit ridge to be just what we wanted in a climb. Even the number of people on the mountain was nice; no crowds but still good company. The Hockenhorn has a little of everything. Nice. See my trip report for more details. | |
