Looking across the head of the Wutenkarferner with the Hochstubai hut perched on the other side. The pattern of crevasses around the basin can be seen, and I stayed to the skiers left of them at about 3100m or so. But there are more that are hidden and in at least one place I suddenly noticed a depression in the snow ahead and did my best to go around the end of it. At this elevation there are still many things hidden. It can be a bit spooky, I think, even though the snowpack and snowbridges were generally pretty thick and strong at the high elevations this year.

This picture was probably taken the following day on the return (day four) which was a bit cloudier as the weather had changed overnight while I was at the Hochstubai.
