Re: No

Wie war's Schee oben? Sieht echt steil aus! Was it soft or icy? Great pic, looks like a fun and challenging climb!

Re: No

It was a good climb. Not that difficult. there was no snow except that place on the pic. The snow was totally rotten and soft. Anytime you put your foot on it a small avalanche was going down.

Maybe we will return in fall.

Cheers

Re: you've done...

Thanks. Retrospectively it was right. Added a trip report.
