Normal - Martin Busch HütteWinter state. Due to snow conditions a little bit late climb. There was deep snow on the upper region. Somethimes I broke in snow. It was weist deep among the rocks. We missed the path. There was an exhausting ascent. 9 hours from Vent.

Normal route from VentMy first peak above 3000 m. I have climbed it on very rainy day with company of friend Ivica Buljevic and his 8 year old son Ante- "Mali planinar"! Vent-Martin Busch hutte 2 h 30 min, Martin Busch hutte-Kreuzspitze 3 h 30 min, Kreuzspitze-Vent 4 h 30 min. There was no ice, only snow fields in last 500 m belove the peak! Finaly on summit there was sunny 30 min as a reward! Boy was very fast, almost running, we were very slow!

Normal route from Martin Busch HütteClimbed it as an acclimatisation tour. Really nice peak, relitively easy to reach, no major ice/snow fields, just a tricky one on the ridge (because of the temperatures the snow was very weak). The view on top is fantastic!

Kreuzspitze, 3457m, August 1988I climbed this one two times, once in 1988 and once in 1992, both times via the normal route from the Martin-Busch-Haus. A beautiful route to a significant Ötztal peak with a great view! Difficulties: none.
