Overall impression
Snow condition
Still snow on the north side from 1700 meters - snow-free on the south side up to almost 2000 meters above sea level
Snow quality
In the morning after hard - in the upper part cudgel hard. Crampons compulsory! Some also came with crampons and ice axes. Descent after waiting break, in the sun, at the summit at about 10:30 a.m. grippy - then firn - further with super firn - transition into bad swamp - in the lower part this swamp became so soft and was therefore really fun!
Risks
Low ! Beware of mouths (cracks in the snow cover / wet snow on steep slopes)
Overall impression
With arrival by bike up to the snow line, tours are still possible in the Allgäu. As early as 6:00 a.m. the first ski tourers set off on their bikes towards Point Hütte. It was nice to meet some familiar faces on the way there ....
