Overall impression
Snow condition
Moderate, after completing the descent the ski needed more intensive maintenance. There is usually enough snow in the lee, but the base is so weak that larger fish cavort just below the snow cover and then like to nibble on the base.
Snow quality
On the north side and in the shade there is still powder to powdery snow, everything that gets sun is more in the direction of the spring lid (despite the persistently low temperatures)
Risks
We were the first to climb the Nordsteig (Ferrata) after the last snowfall - there was some drift snow but no concerns. On the east side there was a very compact cover jammed between various rocks. Hard to get through in the bolt - only a narrow ledge to ride on. In my opinion, the danger was minimal.
Overall impression
To climb the north face untracked is always fun - all in all a beautiful day in good weather. But the descent was more of a chore than a free ride.
