Page 64 Ascent of the Woellbach Spitze
Due to previous posts in 2013, the route continues to deteriorate due to a lack of traffic and further deterioration of the Stilluppkees glacier. The traverse of the mountain as shown on the photograph on page 66 is no longer possible. The normal way via the Stangenjoch should be followed by making a rising traverse over very difficult ground of boulders and loose rubble to access the glacier.
Page 73 Ascent of the Grosser Loeffler
Due to further retreat of the glacier the climb/route is becoming increasingly problematic. Enquire at the Greizer Hut.
Page 83 Greizer to the Berliner Hut via the Floitenkees glacier
Due to further retreat of the glacier, access onto the Floitenkees glacier is becoming very difficult. Access is only possible at the point of the letter N of the word Floitenkees on the AV map via a steep sliver of ice. Enquire at the Greizer Hut.
Page 141 Ascent of the Hochfeiler
The summit snow arête has now almost disappeared making the ascent very straight forward over rock.
Page 143 Hochfeiler to the Edelraute Hut
Para 1, new wires have been installed, however access onto the Glider Ferner glacier remains problematic.
Page 146 Edelraute to Nevesjoch Hut
The Gesprutt sign mentioned on page 148 has now been removed and the path is open aided by a new bridge over the menacing ravine.
Page 159 Schwarzenstein to the Berliner Hut or Greizer Hut
Both routes are still possible but are becoming increasingly problematic due to glacial retreat. For the Greizer Hut the only way off the glacier is at point N on the AV map as mention above.

Hut Information and Reservations; Page 33
For small groups……………………………..
With the advances in mobile technology it seems most folk are reserving beds. Best to make a reservation particularly at weekends.
Ascent of the Wollbach Spitze; Page 64
The traverse of the mountain via the Wollbachjoch is not recommended due to a general retreat of the glacier and a rockfall near the col making access very difficult.

Gunther Knapp has left the hut. Contact details remain the same.
