| The gentle reader might have noticed: I somehow like this crappy weather ;) Approaching the Guenther-Messner Biwak | Next morning: Approaching the Griessferner north face (glacier) | The snow is uncomfortably deep, but the climbing ultra easy | Michael in the upper basin... |

| ...before traversing to the right onto the final summit ridge. | Arghh.. digging kneedeep trenches again | But finally the snow gets less deep and we even see the summit for a moment. | Michael enjoying the beautiful 360° mountain view of pure 0xFFFFFF |

| Descending to the Weisskarferner | Instead of descending via the hillside trail (too much snow?), we rather do the trail down the valley | Which (in non-skiable condition) looks like that | And for everyone who hasnt been here before, follow the arrow! The constriction ends in a waterfall / cliff. |

| The downside of this descent is an additional ascent of 150Hm... | ...before walking down to the car on easy terrain / trails. |
