"Day 1: Parked the car at the lift station in Saas Grund and took the bus to Saas-Almagell. From there walked the trail which passes the Almagelleralb and ended the day at the Almageller Hütte. About a 4 hour walk from the valley to the hut.
Day 2: Woke up at 3:45am, breakfast, and walking up the hill by 4:30. Followed the trail up to the SE ridge. Cramponed up the snow on the east side of the ridge until the ridge line goes noticeably steeper, then scrambled up the rock the rest of the way to the summit. Reached the summit just before 9:00am. Headed down the Trift Glacier to the top of the Hohsaas lift station. Lots of traffic with people coming up from the lift. There is also a a stretch that passes under a serac, which can be a bit unnerving when the sun starts working on the snow. Once at the lift station, bought a ticket and rode right back down to the car. " — SCHO • Jul 18, 2014
