Meltzergrat: almost all of it moving together

A fine ridge up the Hintere Platteinspitze, with a night at the Muttekopfhütte.

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

A ridge of the sort you want: good throughout, never hard enough that you have to stop, and long enough to get into a rhythm.

Apart from the Melzerkante we moved together the whole way. On a route like this that’s half the battle — belay every pitch and you’re still out there in the evening.

We stayed at the Muttekopfhütte. Three of us, plenty of time, no deadline. Exactly the kind of weekend the whole thing is for.
