30HSOA-#29 Ruderhofspitze Map

This tour is definitely the fastest one of the list ! Not too much kilometers, not too much elevation, not exposed, no glacier gear needed (if you go down the normal way up) lets call it a fast and light tour ;)

Description

We decided to go down the north face because we had time, and it looks in a really good shape. That was worth it, the way out by this valley is beautiful and offers good north side skiing. I really recommend this round to do this summit, because then it is a little bit more spicy !

Difficulty

Difficult

Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.

Low Exposure (E1)

Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.

Close to help in case of emergency.
