Dachstein, Day I

August 18, 2009 RJH

You can attack the Dachstein (2995m, Lower Austria/Styria) from the south, either using the cable car to get quick altitude or via rather difficult climbing routes.

The northern route is the classic choice, however, and it’s the one we took. Day one took us from the car park at the Lower Gosausee to the Upper Gosausee, on up the ancient glacial wall, and to our destination at the Adamek hut on the glacial moraines.
