    From the Sustenpass, we first ascend via the Leiterliweg to the Sustlihütte. We continue along mountain paths and boulder terrain towards Trotzigplanggstock (approx. 2 hours ascent). The traverse includes around 23 pitches at difficulty level 4c+ (up to 650 metres of climbing). First we climb the south ridge of the Trotzigplanggstock, followed by the ridge climb to the Wichelplanggstock. After the first summit, the actual crossing begins. We move steadily towards Wichelplanggstock via varied ridge passages, short scrambling sections and easy climbing. On the way, we enjoy the impressive view of the glaciers around the Susten Pass and the surrounding peaks of Uri. After the second summit, we descend with abseils back to the starting point.
