Normal route from PfeldersAscended the south summit in 3.30h from Plan/Pfelders. Nice view over the Ötztal Alps, especially the main ridge. Also the two 'marble peaks' Lodner and Hohe Weisse can nicely be seen.

If you fail try it againI failed in 1977 to reach Hochwilde due to icy conditions and very bad weather.
I reached Hochwilde North summit in august 1994 and noticed that I had missed the summit in 1977 only by some 10 minutes.
I summited Hochwilde Süd from Texelhütte in august 1983.

Route Climbed: normal route Date Climbed: 27 august 2005Very nice summit, a lot of fresh snow (about 50cm).
no ice on the ridge, but the snow made the last part a bit tricky. Not much to see at the top because a lot of mist.
Very nice climb
