Fun Mountain
With Mark and Natasha. Fun ridge, easy glacier, fun summit scramble, great views. Didn't think we were going to make it back to the top of the glacier for the last lift down so we jogged/hiked down to the Mittelstation to catch it there. Super fun day.
First day with decent weather after a period with drizzle, thunderstorms, rain and showers.

Traverse via Pfaffenschneid
From Hildesheimer Hut a short glacier walk to the west ridge of the Pfaffenschneid. Then we traversed the Pfaffenschneid (3498m), Zuckerhütl and Wilder Pfaff from west to east heading towards the Müller Hut. Was a very nice day trip with the Wilder Freiger in the early evening as a beautiful bonus. Pfaffenschneid has the most difficult sections, Zuckerhütl is the highest mountain of the Stubai Alps, Wilder Pfaff provides the best view on the glaciers and the Zuckerhütl itself and the Müller Hut is one of the nicest huts I have ever been. Did this tour within a course of the Dutch Alpine Club NKBV.

A thunderstorm in the morning
We left the Hildesheimerhütte early in the morning. It was drizzling lightly. Not much later it stopped for a short while, but by the time we got on the glacier, it started again.
Higher up, the weather got worse, and although the rain wasn't coming down strong, it turned into a thunderstorm. About 250m below the summit we turned back.
Shortly after we were in the hut, the rain stopped, and not much later the sun came out. If only we had started at 10, all would have been well - except that we would have been back in the valley very, very late!

The final ascent to the top was difficult; there was not so much snow; the snow was hard; the part in the middle was actually steeper and more difficult than it was when I climbed it on April 01, 2006 (see entry below); this time we did need crampons.

From the Sulzenauhut
Not a very pleasant route now, or at least not to be done in July! The morraine is dangerous because of stone fall. But the final section to the summit is nice scrambling.
