As there was also a lot of new snow in the Jungfrau region around Easter and there was a considerable risk of avalanches, we decided to assess the situation "on site" in the morning. As the steepest section of the tour starts right at the hut, the situation could be assessed relatively well during the first 200 meters of altitude. It soon became clear that Hans was right in his assessment: "It's probably more of a summer ascent, as the storm after Easter blew all the snow down into the valley. It has to be somewhere!".
