Nice trip, needs safe snow conditions for the climb and a good amount of snow to enter safely the Rossfirn. The climb to the summit is easy, take crampons and ice axe with you. At the moment (january 2022) snow conditions are quite bad. We found only an entrance to the Rossfirn, at point 2911 on swiss maps. Through a short couloir, icy, entrance around 45-50°, a fall would have had bad conseguences... I think with more snow it would be much easier to access.

Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

In case of a fall, death is highly likely.
