This is the Wietenkarsattel (3115m) at the head of the Sulztalferner. The actual saddle with this small tarn was gained by climbing up and across a final slope at an angle to skirt a bergschrund or crevasses on their right while avoiding the fairly small wet slides coming down on the right from the steep rocky slopes above. In the background on the right side of the distant peak is the Hochstubai hut, the goal for the day. One more glacier basin to cross.
