A new stairway is being built which is expected to be completed in autumn 2024. This should make the climb though the stone field much easier in the future. Interesting fact: it's being built by Sherpas, same as for the steps at Reinebringen.

The Sherpas were still busy building the trail. The rest of the way had to be crawled and climbed over mossy boulders. Be careful, some of the rocks were loose!
I was glad we went up the path and NOT DOWN!
