This photo shows the route up to Zuckerhutl from the hut, although it was taken at the end of May from the Stubai Gletscher ski run above the Hildesheimer hut. The hut is down to the right, the high distinct peak in the center background is Zuckerhutl. The route crossed Pfaffenferner (the glacier in the center) from right to left. The usual ascent makes switchbacks uphill to the left of the icefall, but I had icy conditions and the runout for a fall on that section is steep with rocks. So I went up to the right of the icefall where it was less steep and skirted the back part of the glacier where it is smooth looking.
