From Braunschweigerhütte  Sucess!

After we did the Mainzer Hohenweg the day before, we started to climb from the Braunschweigerhütte to the Wildspitze. We took the normal route over the Piztaler Joch, the Tasachferner and straight up to the Mitterkarjoch to acces the normalroute from the Breslauerhütte to the summit. Due to bad conditions (too much snow) the guide decided to take the same way back but to the Breslauerhütte, instead of descending over the Rofenkarferner to the Breslauerhütte. The tour wasn't as heavy as the Mainzer Hohenweg, but because of the large amounts of snow it took us about 11.5 hours in total. (Braunschweigerhütte-Wildspitze-Breslauerhütte-Vent)

A little bit dangerous

It was my second peak in the Alps. I went there by normal route from Breslauer Hutte. And when I went down I got a long uncontrolled snow ride down the couloir from Mitterkarjoch due to a melting snow. I have a scar on my forearm till now!

Wonderful  Sucess!

A bit more difficult than Similaun two days before, but still quite easy. From Breslauer h., through Mitterkarjoch to the southern summit, then traverse to the northern summit, and descend via north-east ridge. Especially descend was beautiful and delicious :-)

Impressive mountain!  Sucess!

Impressive peak, the highest of Tyrol and the second of Austria, it was a very special experience. Because the presence of less snow for the hot temperatures in july of this year the coulouir of normal route from Breslauer Hütte was really vertical (45-50º) and we left it cilmibg the channel of rocks of left side (not very difficult rocky climb of grade II with some fixed ropes for help). The route had some important crevasses in the glacier but it was a secure route. We found some ice in the final part but without snow to reach the summit in a foggy day. No views in the summit but it was the most important climb in our holidays in Austria. In the descent we climbed the nice Wildes Mannle (3,019m) with some interesting view of Wildspitze.
We'll return some day to this beautiful country, I'm sure.

Route Climbed: Standard Ski Route,  Sucess!

i.e. from Mittelbergjoch (3,166 m); great ski tour with Jessica; 2,5 hours; beautiful weather; beautiful scenery (little snow this year, so the icefalls were even more impressive than previously); didn't use a rope; used crampons for the final ascent to the summit; tricky passage just below the summit

Breslauer hütte - Mitterkarjoch  Sucess!

Starting Vent - cable car- and Breslauer Hütte via the Mitterkarjoch. Mitterkarjoch was a little crowded. We reached the top about 3 o'clock. Long tour. It was exhausting. But we have done it.

attached to dalton1  Sucess!

As dalton1 said it wasn't the best day to climb Wildspitze, but we started it finally at 3:30 in the morning from Vent:)
I would rather say it was mainly the ice which made the climbing difficulty, because the past few days were very cold a foggy. When we reached the ridge the wind made the climbing also much difficult. We could only see about 5-7 meters forward nothing more. We stayed only a few minutes on the top, but we were there!

Not good day for mountaneering...  Sucess!

Climbed in extreme weather conditions with my father and a friend of mine from Vent in one day. We started our juorney at 3:30am and got back to Breslauer Hütte at about 2pm and to Vent at 4pm. It was a 12,5 hour tour, our second glacier tour. We drank some bier at Breslauer Hütte, a beautiful hungarian girl is working there...:)
The weather was absolutelly bad..."Fucking wind..." as an american said...and fog and cold and many snow all the way...despite all this there where many who climbed it that day. Polish, german, austrian, hungarian, ect.
Wonderful view north from Mitterkarjoch! Great and tiring climb on a magnificent mountain!!!
