Did the whole south-east ridge solo until 3830m. Turned back due to lack of water. I had taken only a litre, and it was a fairly hot day. The lower part of the ridge is a bit of a chore, though there is an interesting bit of scrambling to avoid the pinnacles. I would say using the glacier until getting on the ridge higher up is probably much nicer.

Great full ridge with snow
Yes, we were the ONLY three people of the entire Almagellerhütte (and of the people who that day attempted the Weissmies over this route) who actually climbed the full SSE ridge from the Zwischbergenpass all the way to the top!! All the rest of the climbers were over the snowflank at the SE and then got into the ridge higher up. We did it all!! It was great, specially because there was a lot of fresh snow on the ridge, and that was specially challenging. We did it!

Solo ascent
Great route for solo ascent - no glacier and nice solid rock. I had a ball.
