The vagaries of June mountain weather, when we arrived in the Gastein region this mountain (behind Bad Gastein)was clear of snow and looked a simple inviting ridge walk (if you call a 900metre romp a simple inviting walk
One afternoon the clouds rolled in and a sizeable dump of snow covered the mountain, within a day all was green grass and inviting again.

Nice landscape with lots of impact and suits monchrome. Not sure if the rhs spruce actually helps or not - it kind of gets mixed up with the other blacks.
