Description
Hi,
I am planning to take advantage of the great weather tomorrow to get some vertical training in after a long hiatus. I'll be testing a new winter ascent gear and exploring the conditions at altitude. It’s short notice, but feel free to join if you around!
Plan:
The Approach: Klais → Elmau (Flat warm-up).
The Grind: Elmau → Schachenhaus (Steady 10km forest road climb, ~900m gain).
Optional Summit Push: Depending on snow stability and weather at 1 PM, I’m looking to push for Frauenalpl (+330m gain) to hit that 2,200m mark.
Note: The Schachenhaus is closed, so this is a self-sufficient mission!
Timing:
Start: Meeting at Klais Station at 06:44 AM (RB6 from Munich).
Return: Aiming to catch the 07:27 PM train back from
Good to know
Gear & Weather Update for Friday
Gear: Crampons, poles and Iceaxe (optional for summit push)
Temps: Sunny/18°C in the valley; 0°C to 2°C at 2,000m.
Conditions: Expect "rotten" (soft) snow after midday. Crampons/spikes are essential for the morning ice, but be prepared for heavy slush on the way down.
Reminder: Pack plenty of water and snacks as all mountain huts on these routes are currently in their winter/maintenance closure.

The round trip was 33Km from Klais (10.4km Klais to Schloss-Elmau and back). There were some really bad rotten sections after Wettersteinalm where postholing was a serious problem (I expected it to start on the near end of Schahen!). There were firmer sections up ahead until Schahenhaus, and better on the ridge up.

Also, dropped my CT Alpine Tour Anthracite Eispickel on the trail way down (shortly after Wettersteinalm). The bagpack’s harness clip was undone (had broken). Miss it!
