In good weather very crowded. The best thing is when you come across the Simonyhütte and before the first gondola at the entrance. If there is not much going on, abseiling from the summit is recommended.

The Hohe Dachstein is one of the most famous and imposing peaks in the Eastern Alps. With 2995m it is the highest elevation of the Dachstein Mountains and the second highest peak of the Northern Limestone Alps and is therefore often climbed. The Hohe Dachstein is surrounded by numerous glaciers. The summit can be reached from several sides via via ferratas.

Dachstein coming from the south is quite a challenge. At least 800 meters of often vertical rock face are very impressive. The shoulder climb is underestimated by many tourists. For me, the first 30 meters or so of the start is more of a "C". And you think the KS is short. Wrong.

The climb overcomes the summit structure in several stages and is quite long. But it is really 🥰if the weather is right.

To descend, I took the Randkluftsteig to the glacier. It is anything but trivial at the bottom because there is no rope for the last 20 meters. But there are steel pins and a few clamps. You can only be properly secured with a rope partner. OK, it might be a B but be careful‼️.

The Randkluft itself can also be bad. So for this variant, crampons, a partner and a short rope are advantageous. It took me a total of 4 hours and I didn't think I was slow.
