The Hühnerjochkamm

A big ridge stretches along the south side of the Lafaistal. On the left is the Blasiuszeiger (2837m), and there is actually a hiking trail to the top. Not ssurprisingly, that reaches the summit form the other side. On the right is Schwarze Wand (3065m). As far as I know, there are no easy ways up there. According to the guidebook (Alpenvereinsführer Ötztaler Alpen), the easiest route is UIAA grade III-. The book also mentions the traverse of this ridge, and that's UIAA grade III. It looks like a fine route! 16 July 2013.
