Schrammacher NE ridge (4)

From the Geraer Hut, follow the signposted path 502 towards Alpeinerscharte, which is reached after about 1 hour. Directly from the notch, the NE ridge to Schrammacher branches off to the south. First over some iron rungs up the first rise to the flat part of the ridge. Now always along this, staying directly on the ridge as long as possible. Then the ridge is left, and the rest of the ascent is made on the eastern flank of the Schrammacher. Crossing with some ascents, the summit is reached. The ridge is only re-entered directly before the summit cross. Along the way, cairns and old loops can be found repeatedly. Depending on conditions, 5-7 hours should be planned from the hut to the summit.

The descent from the summit is via the easy south ridge. This leads to the beginning of a somewhat uninviting gully, which leads down to the Oberschrammacherkees. It is also possible to follow the ridge to the Oberschrammachscharte and only then cross back over the glacier. Caution with snow cover due to crevasses. After overcoming the bergschrund, the further descent leads northeast crossing scree to a small prominent ridge. The spot where the steep slope is descended is marked by a large cairn. From here again over scree to the path towards Alpeinerscharte and back to the hut.
