!! Updated info !!

The avalanche risk increase from low (as of yesterday) to moderate below 1600m and considerable above 1600m, due to wind drifting snow and persistent weak layer. See Lawinenwarndiesnt. 

Must have:

• Spikes (Grödel), needed if we find some icy layers.
• Gaiters (Gamaschen), needed to avoid water coming into our boots. There will be significant fresh powder snow. 

Let's all keep an eye on the conditions and if needed we might plan an alternative route. 

Also, modified track to avoid crossing any protected area (Thanks Gaurav!). Good read to understand what are these protected areas and why are they protected areas (Wildschutzgebiet).

I plan to do this one on Sunday.

There will be snow all along so come prepared for it and for cold temperatures. In addition, there might be snow falling on us, but this we will only be able to tell afterwards (if it really did).

Meeting time 7:15, to take the train at 7:30.

I think we might need about 5:30h to complete the route, maybe a bit more, which means we might be at Sptizingsee to catch the bus back to Fischhausen/Neuhaus at 14:59 (alternatively 15:30, 15:59...). 

Alternatively, we can detour and go to Sptizingsee via Rotwand, and warm a bit up at Rotwandhaus.
