Hiked up to Fluseeli hut from Simmenfalle and camped above it for the first night. I found just one german woman staying in the hut wth her dog. The following morning the 3 of us hiked up to the top of Wildstrubel in glorious sunshine. It becomes a steep hike up scree for the laslt hour or so. There's a good view of the Glacier du Plein Mort. At the top we were bathed in a warm wind blowing from the south. On the summit we me a local woman who had hiked up directly from simmenfall, she said that it is often very cold and cloudy on top and indeed the guestbook in the fluseeli hut reflected this as the experience of many who attemted the mountain.
