Pilatus Ostgrat (from Tellenfadlücke)

Описание: The video starts shortly after Tellenfadlücke (around 1400m a.s.l.) and ends at Pilatus Esel (2119m a.s.l.). First part is generally T3 difficulty, very steep ascent, mostly on the grass, relatively easy to follow. Second part from Rosegg is T5+, we did a small detour to the "Martin" cross on the ridge, but then reverted back to the "official" path. Video has no sound (as usual when I'm touring not alone).

0:00 - Start around 1400m a.s.l.
4:17 - The path is not really obvious here (rock formation just before the Windegg), eventually it goes to the right around the rock.
6:04 - Boring grassy fragment (up to the Windegg, but bypassing the "summit").
10:40 - A bit of a downhill.
12:57 - And up again - beginning of the very steep approach to the Rosegg.
19:30 - Touching the clouds - getting a bit colder.
21:00 - The terrain is getting more rocky, but still plenty of grass anyway.
29:00 - Final meters before Rosegg.
34:13 - Rosegg 1975m a.s.l.
36:32 - This is where the path bypass the ridge on the left, we weren't sure if we should stay on the ridge, but eventually went with the path...
38:19 - and seeing people on the ridge we decided to actually go up... (turned out the people on the ridge were living legends Chris M. and Robin S. 😅)
41:00 - Ridge scrambling - very brittle rock and generally not really welcoming. The cross on the ridge turned out to have a name "MARTIN" on it...
46:35 - The last look at the rest of the ridge and decision to go back to the normal route.
52:40 - Back on the path and the start of the most difficult part of that route.
54:30 - First of the many "key" points.
59:08 - Another one - secured with a handle bar and later with a steel rope.
1:04:36 - The "summit" book...
1:05:14 - and the final exposed part that leads to the top.
1:06:50 - I made it! 🎉
