"After a cold night camping on the slopes of the Kleinmölbing, we packed up and hiked al the way along the ridge up to Schrocken. After that we went further to the Elmscharte where we went down into the valley and in the direction of Warscheneck. After a very steep accent up to Liezener , we made it to Warscheneck. After that we went further down in the direction of Toter Mann where we set up our camp again for the next night." — BelgiumGipfelsturmer • Jul 20, 2020
"First day hiked up to the Welser Huette where we spent the night. Second day made our way up on the Normalweg to the Fleischbanksattel and then to the summit. We descended the same day the same way we came up." — jag • Aug 1, 2013
"Hiked from Grundlsee to the Puehringerhuette and stayed overnight. Next day we tried to summit the Rotgschirr but had to turn around because of bad weather - climbed another smaller mountain next to it instead. On the third day we finally made it up to the summit of the Rotgschirr and descended to the Almsee via the Sepp-Huber Steig." — jag • Jul 17, 2012
