It had been very warm recently, and we tried several times to find some ice for ice climbing... but all water ice is gone now. So we wanted to summit a couple of peaks around, but we had a very high danger of avalanches, making any risky mountain hikes to very dangerous adventures... although we had the brightest sunshine since weeks
. After our summit-less trial of hiking up Dürrenstein we really needed to get out again. On the Dürrenstein tour, we faced massively wet and heavy snow, had to climb over dozens of ground avalanches and slept in a wet bivouac before turning around with reaching the summit on the next day. Frustrating.
Instead, we wanted at least to train a bit for the mountaineering and glacier tours that we want to do in summer and hiked up to Lahngang and to the Spielkogel via Johnsbach and Mödlinger Hütte. The snow was quite good in the cool shadow, but very, very wet and heavy where the sun had already been. Good cardiovascular training, though.
