Approaching the ‘Taschach Hoch Joch’ from ‘Petersen Spitze’ (snow pyramid in the back)

After the hard entry we found a couple of centimeters of cold powder on top

Controlled jump-turns still feel more comfortable here

This is the steepest section of our choosen variant (short section of 48° in the upper third of the wall)

After the intitial steep section we discuss the conditions further down

We go skier’s left, entering the wide face

The first careful turn in the main section of the face

Wow! Almost perfect conditions, but slough is really getting a problem we have to deal with.

Wide turns in the less steep lower part

Here snow is already quite sun effected
