The second attempt to climb Glattchamm was successful – no bruises this time !
Due to some time constraints (I had to be back home early) and the fact that there is no 14:21 Postauto in Arvenbüel, right Delta ;-) I decided to "cheat" a little bit: I took the Kistenbahn from Starkenbach to Strichboden. It's a fun way to gain 671m in altitude.
Remarks: The technical difficulties in the crux up to Glattchamm are not that extreme (I’ll give it a T6 anyway). However the fact that you never really know if the moss or a grip actually holds your weight makes it kind of dangerous.
Strichboden – Toggenburger Höhenweg – P.1830 – towards Gocht, then old path up to Glattchamm ridge – Glattchamm (from West) – Vorder Leistchamm – P 1911 – Arvenbüel
