| Glacier and snow in great condition when we did this. We climbed it in 4 pitches with snow/ice coverage all the way to the summit. As with all alpine ice walls, do this early as there's lots of rockfall potential, including kicked down from climbers doing the standard east ridge right above this route. Descent is via the east ridge. | |

| Staying near Längenfeld we woke up early because we planned to go to the Brandenburgerhaus. In Vent we asked at the local VVV for information about this tour. There they said that both the Guslar and Kesselwand glaciers contained a lot of crevasses and the conditions were bad that day. This made us decide to do a different tour, an ice free tour but it still had to be something special. We chose the Schrankogel, so we drove back to Längenfeld and went to Gries. When we left the parking lot in Gries it was already 10.00 am. We followed the normal route via the Amberger Hütte and Hohes Egg and arrived after a 3.20h walk at the top. The route itself was not very beautiful but the view from the top is excellent although it was rather cloudy. Nevertheless we were able to see the Wildspitze between the clouds. After the usual summit photos we descended the same route to Gries in only 1.40h. After 9 years I reached the Brandenburgerhaus this summer so my 2003 plan finally became reality. | |

| Lukas Kunze | West ridge Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2011 | |
| We cycled up to Amberger hut and stayed there for a night. On 26th we started and scanded the easy and marked west ridge to the summit. Very windy on top and views where quite dusty but a great trip anyway. Nice downhill ride from the hut. | |

| Started early morning from Amberger hut. The weather was quite warm and nice clouds were roaring in the sky. After Hohes Egg we started to climb a couloir (40-45°), but after about 100 vertical meters we had to switch to the rocks because of totally unstable melted snow. On the airy summit ridge we got some fresh winds, and it was quite scary due to even more unstable snow. The temperature was above zero, and we were afraid the snow will not hold us, and braking a fall was physically impossible... Spent some 10 minutes on the summit and enjoyed panorama with spectacular clouds. | |

| We climbed this mountain when it rained during the night before. Consequently we had some snow in the near of the summit. No view what was quite good for my brother. The slopes are very steep in the higher regions. Though we started at the Amberger hut I went to the parking range afterwards, met a friend and came back to the hut in the afternoon. So in summa I made from the starting point to the summit ;-) (what turned out to be quite hard) | |
