Today is the first time we have approached this ridge in such exceptional conditions. In late autumn, the ridge isn't particularly overrun in spite of the lift to Kanzelwand operating nearby. The first section to Walser Hammerspitze (right) is not as difficult as the rest (a little hands-on) and is surely an interesting hike on its own, possibly with descent to Kuhgehrenspitze.

Time to descend from Walser Hammerspitze toward Hochgehrenspitze.

From here, the ridge becomes interesting, offering bit of scrambling and occasionally somewhat exposed (short sections II).

One somewhat exposed section of downclimbing (I-II, a little loose).

Happy jogging along the ridge, Walser Hammerspitze furhter back.

Hochgehrenspitze is getting closer. Three hikers bring perspective to the remaining part.

Looking back toward an eye-catching tower, which we thankfully can pass without climbing. That will have to wait for a roped climb!

We take a break at the Hochgehrenspitze summit, here looking back along the ridge to Walser Hammerspitze.

Markus comes down from Hochgehrenspitze summit. This short climb is a little airy, though helped by a couple of iron steps in the rock.

Markus about to descend toward Fiderepass.

Ferrata wire, the first and last. Perhaps it's welcome on the somewhat loose ground.
