Spontaneous tour | High tour on the Grassen via the south ridge
Over glacier and rock on the Sunny South Face and on the South Ridge on the Grassen: a varied and interesting tour that guarantees a unique experience.
Together we climb the Grassen via the south ridge. After the meeting point at the Sustenpass car park, a beautiful ascent leads us over hiking trails, pathless terrain and glaciers to the Grassenjoch. After a rest we enjoy the alpine climbing in mountain boots, the rock is grippy and firm. First the south face (3 pitches, 3b) and then the south ridge (III, approx. 1.5h) leads us in several pitches to the Grassen, exposed and beautiful! The descent is over glacier and snow, offers great views, possibly a refreshing swim and certainly coffee and cake back at the starting point.
