Description:We exceeded the Weissmies 4017m: From the south to the west, south ridge up, west flank down. That is much being worth!
Start in the Almageller Hut 2894m. On a footpath and path spoors, over boulders and debris to the historic mountain pass ‘Zwischenbergpass 3268m’. Now one goes to the north to the Rottal-glacier, where the south ridge begins. Over the south ridge highly to the Point 3972m, climbing in the 2 degree. From the point 3972m the final comes, over a last and somewhat exposed ridge on the summit of Weissmies 4017m.
We descended over the normal route, the west ridge/west flank. This route istechnically not with difficulty, BUT there are enormous and deep crevasses! The Trift-glacier it „tore strongly apart“ - rope up.
Thus, Weissmies is rather a simple 4000er. But the glacier is dangerous. In principle each 4000er has its malice and dangers. Rope up is important.
With questions or unclarity, I help you gladly.
