Hey,
a couple of fresh pieces of info from today. As already written, some markings are visible at night too, as they are set as signs, and there are some marks on trees too, so keep your eyes peeled

.
Regarding the path itself, the first part through the forest is trodden and slippery in places.
After exiting the forest, the path is covered in snow, partly frozen, with breakthroughs in places or deeper holes, so be careful.
Towards the saddle today it wasn't trodden, so we waded through all sorts of snow (frozen, drifted, sinking to the knees or deeper in places).
In short, crampons, maybe an ice axe too, and careful. And don't forget a spare light

if setting off at night.
Safe steps!
