Top of Germany
Clasic way via ferrata from Ga-Pa (across the iceberg) to summit.
Nice but crowded way (summit totaly overcrowded by tourists)
Next day we went to Octoberfest in Munich as an reward:-)

Highest point in Germany
Nothing like a Lowenbrau on the summit of the highest point in Germany...

Höllental
Started at 7am at Hammersbach. raced up to the glacier in order to save some time since us was told that the upper via ferrata is full of snow and ice. We overtook several people who started way before us. The sun did a great job on the ice and we didn' t have to wait at any time :) Phantastic views from the route and on the top. Great trip but the crowd on the summit is quite a contrast...

Höllental
Started at Hammersbach in the morning after sleeping in the car and did it as a one-day tour.
Tooooo many people on this day and a crowded route made me wait several times.

Took the ski lift, but I was the only from our group to ski down it without wiping out!
Yeh, yeh, not really a traditional summit, but i did get up there and enjoyed some of the best skiing of my life.... so far...

Höllental
Wonderful approach through the Höllental, stayed in the hut, then climbed with some new-found friends the next day to the summit (my first Klettersteig too!). Descended to an Austrian hut via another Klettersteig, and then out to the Eibsee the next day. Wonderful tour!!

Crowded on Top
Great climb and beautiful views, but was turned off by the little city built on top and all the people.

Route Climbed: Jubiläumsgrat
We made a "regular" winter climb of the Jubiläumsgrat: took the gondola from Eibsee to the Zugspitze and continued down via the ridge to Alpspitze and Osterfelderkopf.
Quiet, on a wednesday morning during winter...
Though gotta come back for a "fair means" ascent. :)

Repeated ascents
via different routes.
1981 Jubiläum ridge in winter with a friend in the following way:
Ropeway to Kreuzeckhaus. Next morning Alpspitze via Schöngänge and SE ridge, over to Jubiläum ridge to bivy hut. Clouds fell in that evening, but the morning brought the sun's splendor back again, with -16°C inside and -18°C outside the hut. Continued to Zugspitze bypassing several steep ridge sections using snow gullys on the S side of the ridge. Arrived at summit just 20 minutes before the last ropeway went down.
Fascinating alpinistic experience.
Via Reintal May 1984 and Sept 2004, both times in clouds above Knorrhütte.
From Ehrwald via Gatterl in June 2007 - very nice hiking tour.
Via Höllental in Aug 2011 - very impressive indeed!

Hoellental
It used to be my favorite one very long day trip going early down to Garmisch and climbing the Zugspitze. It was a real apine experience in winter.
I did the route probably ten times.

I would like to return to climb this mountain proper. Skiing is great on the top too!
