The Zottenfall again

High avalanche danger, bad weather — so the route you already know. This time buried in snow.

Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.

High avalanche danger and bad weather. That combination narrows the choice a lot, and then you climb whatever you can reach without having to think about it on the way in.

So: the left Zottenfall again. We know it by now.

This time there was a proper load of snow sitting on the ice, and you had to dig through it before reaching anything you could swing a tool into. That’s more tiring than it looks and a good deal less elegant.

Still better than a day in the valley.
