Steep, impressive flanks with clearly delineated ridges above a (still) rather wild glacier. A striking ridge, visible from afar, which merges into the so-called ice ridge before the summit, in predominantly solid granite. This is how you could summarise the tour from the Wildgerlostal valley or from the Zittauer Hütte via the rarely climbed north ridge to the second highest peak in the Reichenspitz group. You will be rewarded with the feeling of having climbed a mountain under your own steam and in its original state: no access aids, partly pathless, you may have to find your own way on the glacier and there are no human remains on the ridge that would make it easier to climb. As you have to descend along the same route and the descent is therefore more difficult than the ascent, the summit only "belongs" to you once you are back at the bottom.
