Klein Mythen - Haggenspitz
The plan was to follow this reported route I have nothing more to add to this excellent report, but I'll try:
- Personally, this was my second alpine hike, having hiked the Klein Mythen last week, adding Haggenspitz was the next logical thing to do. I did this trip solo. It was immensely satisfying, looks like my long quest for a reasonably challenging hike has been fulfilled at last!
- The hike up to Klein Mythen was straightforward. I found 3 people on the summit. After a meal, I started toward the Haggenspitz. The correct (or rather the one I had planned to do) route is to traverse on the east flank of the Klein Mythen - Haggenspitz saddle. I however missed it, went down all the way to the base (was it Grigelli?) and then climbed the Haggenspitz.
- Between the two, I would say Haggenspitz is the more challenging one in terms of steepness and fun, a lot of it feels nearly vertical and more demanding on endurance. However, to me at least, the hardest climbing moves lie between the Klein Mythen vorgipfel (presummit ) and the main summit. Ivo's route report above is correct, if you can do the KM, you can do the H, provided you have enough reserves to attempt multiple peaks.
- At the Haggenspitz I was the only one on the mountain (I could see the signatures of 3 hikers before me on the this day, on summit book). It was both scary and deeply satisfying to be sitting alone on top of a mountain that seems so inaccessible. After a long break at the summit, I descended down to Klein Mythen and retraced the path back to Brunni.
- I could have followed the route described by Ivo, i.e. to make a direct descent to Brunni from Haggesnpitz. I chose to go back to Klein Mythen because I was more familiar with the section.
