C Montadon,
A modest summit, with an impressive S wall, situated N of the
Gspattenhorn hut. The W ridge, which forms the upper edge of the
S face, makes a reasonably pleasant outing at grade III (some
shattered rock).
AD- E Kochliand
L Mani,
From the Gspaltenhorn hut follow a track round onto the lower part
of the ridge at Tragegg. Climb the easy angled ridge (rock and grass)
to the first small step. Climb this by a chimney and continue to a
taller step. Climb this, by an S-shaped chimney, to a platform then
go straight up over some small overhangs. The next high stepis
vertical on all sides and is started on the L of the ridge (good holds)
followed by grooves and a chimney.
A fairly horizontal section leads to yet another step. Keep on
the crest for this then climb the next one on the S side. The
following step is climbed by a 30m high wall on well spaced holds
and leads to a deep gap. Descend into this then follow the crest
(loose rock) to another gap. The step above the gap can be taken
direct or on the N side and leads to a final snowy section. 4-5hr
