After a mixed night in the hut, I, @derKlein and @Mel Schubert went to the actual destination of the Bockkarkopf.

After we had already "climbed" our destination "Mädelegabel" late yesterday afternoon / evening, we wanted to do something again today. Contrary to the original plan to descend via the Kemptener Hütte, we set off in an easterly direction, from where we saw some hikers coming the day before.
