Hochalmspitze (3.360m) via Steinerne Mandln

Challenging high alpine tour to the queen of the High Tauern, the highest summit of the Ankogel group - Hochalmspitze (3.360m).
We climbed from the Giessener Hut (2.225m) via Steinerne Mandln.
We descended via Detmolder Grat (via ferrata grade C).
The length of the tour to the summit via Steinerne Mandln is 4.4 kilometers and the height difference is 1,174 meters.
In the final part, before climbing to the vertical wall of Steinerne Mandln, the glacier is very steep, about 50 degrees. The ridge from this side towards the summit is secured with steel rope (via ferrata) in several places, but there are also exposed details without protection.
The total length of the tour from Giessner Hut and back is 10.5 kilometers.
From the Giessner Hut to the Gosskarspeicher parking lot is 3.4 kilometers and 560 meters of height difference.
Winter equipment and via ferrata set are required for the tour.
