Snow condition

On the north side there is a continuous snow cover from approx. 1600m. Much higher on the south side. Depending on the altitude of the starting point, the route to the snow line is a long one. Further up, the snow cover is acceptable.

Snow quality

Still powdery snow on the north and northeast side above approx. 2300m. Northwest already capped up to higher elevations. Below 2300m transition to firn. It had frozen through overnight. In places, however, not stable on foot and too steep with crampons.

Daytime warming, otherwise the snow cover makes a stable impression.

Overall impression

Powder, firn and sun. Beautiful tour with a slightly longer carrying passage to the snow line. Unfortunately, the time of clear nights and dry air is over for now...
