Morning beauty, when the moist from thunderstorms in the night form lower
clouds. This picture is taken along the road from Oetz to Kühtai. |
After parking my car in Kühtai, I use the chairlift up to around 2400m. |

Nice company up here. Plenty of the kind of sheep, that are typical for this area. |
And horses, really! |

After 1,5km I have descended to 2300m, at the dam Speicher
Finstertal. |
You have to walk a bit along the lake, before starting the real climb. Here it's time for a brake at almost 2600m. |

A bit higher, at the saddlepoint Steintalsattel. The official altitude is
2741m, but
my altimeter shows more like around 2670m. |
Well,
at the summit my altimeter agrees with the official figures. Most of
the climb is failry steep. But from the saddlepoint it gets steeper.
The hands are needed as a support, from time to time. There is a steel
wire at the final climb to the summit. |

The summit is small, there can't be to many up here at the same time. |
A view back towards Kühtai. Lots of ski slopes down there. |

The lake, Speicher Finstertal has the most beautiful turquoise color. To the left,
behind the lake is Sulzkogel 3016m. I climbed that one in 2006. |
Zooming in Gaiskogel 2820m, 1,5km to the northeast. Two persons are standing up there. |

Magical with the clouds and the mountains, to the south. |
Finally, looking to the nothwest, Lechtaler alps far up there. |
