Zugspitze 2962m, the highest mountain in Germany visited on 24th July 24
We went went up Höllental route (Hell Valley) passing through Höllentalklamm gorge and Höllentalangerhütte. The route becomes more serious after that with 2 sections of Via Ferrata, some unprotected scrambling and the Glacier. Conditions on the glacier were good and easy but some parts of 2nd section of Via Ferrata were still covered with snow. One exposed, snow cowered gully was equipped with an extra rope. We descended by Zugspitzbahn Cable Car. The whole route up from Hammersbach, Grainau to the top took us about 10hrs including lunch break at Höllentalangerhütte.
2200m elevation gain.
