Description

Hi everyone!

There are some mentionings across the internet that this klettersteig is possible in winter (due to it’s south facing aspect and steepness), so I’d like to go have a look at it 😊

It's long, steep and exposed, but not very technical with a moderate grade of B/C. However this might be exacerbated if there is much snow or ice on the route. Please make sure you are comfortable with this before joining.

Logistics:

We meet in Lermoos (reachable by train RE62 from Munich) at 9:00am, from where we can take my car to Haiming. Alternatively you can take your own transport and we meet in Haiming at the parking lot.
From here we will climb approx. 2,5 hours to the top of the klettersteig
The descent is the crux of the route apparently, so in winter it’s recommended to go back down over the klettersteig again. You should be comfortable downclimbing
We should be back at the car around 15:00 at the latest after which we'll drive back to Lermoos, or a pizza place first ;)

GEAR:

Klettersteig gear (helmet, harness & klettersteig set are mandatory! Please also bring good grippy gloves since the cables might be icy and cold.
Crampons might be needed if there is ice on the route. If you sign up, please bring them and be familiar with using them on mixed terrain (rock/snow & ice).
I’ll bring an iceaxe to dig the cables out of the snow if that is needed. If you have one you can bring one as well.
Water & food (there are no huts on the way)

I will make a whatsapp group to discuss the logistics further, so please send me your number as soon as you sign up for the event! If i haven't hiked with you before I might ask you some questions about your experience in the mountains :)

P.s. standard disclaimers apply; this might be a stupid idea and i'm not a mountainguide, so everyone is responsible for him/herself ;)
