Hoher Dachstein

Yesterday I took advantage of the nice weather to visit this beauty. In such weather the mountain is quite crowded. Most take the gondola to Hunerkogel, but I started at the lower cable car station and didn't regret it. Started a bit after seven, the path winds past Sudwandhütte, all the time in shade up to the upper cable car station. There opens the view on Hallstätter glacier. Most people come up here to walk on the glacier. Wide ratrak groomed path winds across the glacier to Wartehütte. To the summit I climbed the rocky path, quite some traffic, some up some down. The cable runs practically continuously from bottom to top, rocks polished in places. At the top views all around, plenty to see here. Plan was to descend the western ridge, traverse Gosau glacier then over Steinerscharte notch. Since the glacier looked quite crevassed I skipped it. Descended back, then traversed Hallstätter glacier to Simonyscharte and then to Steinerscharte. Glacier crossing still possible without glacier rope. Steinerscharte definitely worth it, completely different view on glaciers and surroundings opens up. Descended same path back, then gondola to the valley (21.5 eur).
