Exceptional Gasper. Great tour with even better views. Keep it up.

12.07.20 Hochalmspitze. Ramp was closed like previous ones, this time due to large amounts of debris water on certain road sections after ramp, so ~2-3km walk on road to Gößkar reservoir. No snow to 2500, but quite watery, still very nice. Ascent via Detmolder Grat. Access over snowy slope, snow favorable (winter gear there but unused whole day). Ridge basically dry with occasional minor snowy sections. Caught clear at top.
Since ridge to Steinerne Mandeln icy from fresh snow we rather returned part way via Detmolder Grat to glacier and descent down its middle to two lakes. Turned out super decision as we were express at Gießener Hütte. Upper glacier no crevasse danger signs, but smaller noticeable ones appear ~500m lower. Think in current conditions much more snow trudging if doing Hochalmspitze via normal route. LP

The Slovenian path was dry two weeks ago.

Last week from top of Hochalmspitze all neighboring peaks were still partially snowy, especially in glacier area and surroundings if nothing else. But given warm conditions snow was soft and nicely walkable. I had winter gear with me but didn't use it anywhere.
