From the Zwolergogel We walked along the ridge over Hoher Penhab and Shonhofer Wand, with excellent views of the Geisstein and our way ahead. We reached Stoffenieder and stamped our card here for the second time (25 points). We then walked West along the main ridge over the Mittagskogel, where we had a good view of the Geisstein and our route up the south east ridge.
We continued along the ridge to the Leitenscharte, and then followed the path climbing steeply onto the grassy ridge leading to the summit of Geisstein. We stayed on the summit a while, stamping the cards (40 points), signing the summit book, and taking in the views. We then started our descent back down the ridge to the Leitenscharte.
rom the Leitenscharte we took the path then track down into the Vogelalp valley and followed this back to Lengau, where after a bit of a rush, we caught the bus with two minutes to spare. If you had more time and energy, then a more interesting route to Lengau would be via the Schusterscharte.
