Beschreibung der Tour:
Route StartBegin a steep 642m ascent from Augsburger Hütte to Gatschkopf (2945m) and then proceed walking down on the ridge until Patrolscharte (2846m). No significant obstacle or exposure expected.
At Patrolscharte, possibility of climbing Parseierspitze via the southface can be considered under good condition. See
PARSEIERSPITZE DETOUR. Continue by going down the
Patrolscharte towards
Memminger Hütte. The steep descent is a secured trail first passing, with risk of rock falls, through
Parseierjoch (2560m) and proceed to follow the
Speihlerweg until the
Wegscharte (2580m). At this point it is possible to consider going West along the ridge to Hinterseekopf (2718m) and Mittlerseekoppf (2702m) then back on what is now the E4/E5 (this adds ~190m of ascent). At this point, it is only a 30min/158m descent to the
Memminger Hütte. Route EndDay ends at
Memminger Hütte.
Bad Weather / DetoursPARSEIERSPITZE DETOURFrom
Patrolscharte, approach via the
Grinner Ferner glacier (which is more of a snow field nowadays, though microspikes could be a good idea), and start the climb. While the first part of the climb is secured (~/ A/B in VF grade), the second half (?) is unsecured and of grade II/T5, therefore absolute surefootness and no fear of hights is needed. The main danger seems to be from loose and falling rocks; a helmet is mandatory here.
The
crux of the route is a low-grip plate crossing, behind it a steep upswing along a plate fault zone (II), happening almost at the start of the route.
Special attention should also be given to not accidently take on the harder (III) Ostgrat. After reaching submit, climb back down same way and regroup at
Patrolscharte.IN CASE OF BAD WEATHERThere isn't much easier alternative ,as the way to
Patrolscharte and
Parserischarte is alreay the easiest route available. In case of extreme bad weather, Grins can be reached from Augsburger Hütte in ~2h05 (1200m decent), and the easier E5 can be reached from Zams. The Grins-Zams connection can be most likely done by taxi or bus (Zams Lötz station). The a very long scent via the E5 (13.5km/1845m).
Another possibility is to forfeith Memminger Hütte altogether and sleep in the valley near Schann then pickip the ascent to Ansbacher Hütte via the 635,
