Christmas On Krenspitze

Published on 2015-12-25 by Michael Stanton

Friends: Only God!
Location: Hinteres Sonnwendjoch, Krenspitze
Elevation gain: 2000m = 1300m + 700m

I started hiking into the Kloo-Ascher Valley with bivouac gear, hoping there wasn't too much snow on the north side of the Hinteres Sonnwendjoch and Krenspitze. I slept on the Krenspitze summit.

Good weather.

On the way down I followed a road then went cross country down to the east until meeting a road switchbacking up to the Wildenkarsattel which I came through the day before. I then followed the sunny and snowfree ridge to the Schönfeldalm, and thence steeply down to the road and the car.

2000 meters up/down.
