I’m thinking about dayhiking the Mountaineers’ Route, but only if there is good weather and they open the road before the quota begins. Fingers crossed.
This time of year do you use the snow pack to bypass the E-Ledges?
I honestly can't imagine myself attempting to traverse the Ebersbacher Legdges with a potential ice layer on it.
For those interested, here is an interesting video trip report from a journey last year via the MR.
