I climbed this peak on a beautiful cool sunny morning. It is neither difficult nor far from the Similaun Hut from which I started. Because it was a weekend, many other people had the same idea. Even so it was a worthwhile climb.
Route Climbed: vent - Martin Busch Hut - Summit - Similaun Hut - Summit - Similaun Hut - Martin Busch Hut - Vent Date Climbed: 3.&4. August 2002
Yes - we really were on two following days on the summit. On the 1st day we went to the top because we thought that the weather will be bad next day - It wasn't so we climbed up again from the similaun hut ;)
Route Climbed: normal route from similaunhutte Date Climbed: august 5 2002
a nice mountain. i climbed it from similaunhutte, takes about two hours. two parts of rope going, and a short piece of walking with cramps, and a nice summit with beautiful weather.
Route Climbed: Normal route from Martin-Busch-Hut Date Climbed: May 2000
Last ski-tour in the season. Required carrying the skis almost all the way up to the hut, walking in skishoes. We had planned to do the Hintere Schwaerze also, but the weather was bad. It was so foggy, we only saw the summit-cross immediately before we actually reached it. I don't have any idea what the view from up there is like. ;)

Route Climbed: Normal route Date Climbed: August 1st, 2000We climbed Similaun during an "Ice Course" of DAV section "Schwaben" from Martin-Busch-Hütte.
It's quite easy (hiking trail on snow :-), only the last few meters are very steep. Nevertheless I panted like an old steam engine!
