No beginners (Minimum 1500 points or get in touch with me if you think you have the experience but only recently joined HB). Only really fit and experienced hikers.

It is time for my Zugspitze hike. We are meeting at the Platform 27 at 5:15 and take the first train to Ehrwald. Please be on time as we only have 15 minutes before the train leaves.

7:30 we start the hike from Ehrwald station, via the Stopselzieher. This is an easy via ferrata (A/B), I would still recommend you to take the via ferrata set. And we take the way down via Cable Car. This is a long hike so I intend to do a reasonable pace but no running, between 450- 500hm per hour.

Please get enough cash for 

In terms of food and water we are passing the Wiener- Neustätter- Hütte before the Stopselzieher. Münchner Haus on the top is closed the rest of the summer. We should stop at least at 1-2 of the huts to refuel, I suggest you still bring some food with you, because I don't think we have time for really long breaks at the huts.

There is still snow on the route, please get enough warm clothes and crampons.

Obviously this is weather dependant and if the forecast isn't good enough we will push it out one more week. This will be decided Friday afternoon and if the even isn't cancelled by 3-4ish it will definitely take place. Also if anyone actually wants to offer their car get in touch with me, coz that would make us much more flexible.
