Hasn't voted | Some update concerning the route over Pederfick. You don't need to hike all the way up from Prad, aside from the fact that you could use a mountainbike until Valnairalm. The easiest way is starting in Sulden near the Hotel Marlet using the forest road marked #19 (on the Tabacco map it's marked #18) to Kälberalm; from there on you stay on the road going without losing much elevation to Stieralm. There you pick up a faint umarked trail going north. In a few switchbacks you come up about halfway to the ridge leading to the peak Pederfick. Stay on the trail as it crosses the ridge but soon after it regains the ridge and stays on it. A short way before the peak are appearing some marks (around Stierkopf at ~ 2900 m)coming up from the Gampenhütte. Soon after you'll reach the top with the cross. From the top you seem to see all the way to the top of the Tschengelser Hochwand. It's a little misleading since it's much longer than it appears but the part up to the ridge that's coming down form the top of the Hochwand is not as it seems from the distance. I needed about 1 1/2 h from cross to cross. In the next days I'll try to post a few pictures showing the ridge that goes from Pederfick to the Hochwand.
By the way the UTM coordinates of the Hochwand are
32 T 0624849, 5158035
and of the Pederfick
