Favorite ski tour from Essener-Rostocker Hütte. Climbing the Grosser Geiger from the south leads along the Maurerkees glacier. At 2650 meters, the route turns north-westward and heads a rather steep slope towards the flat upper glacier. There is skidepo under the top pyramid. On the top of the undemanding terrain in crampons and ice axe. Follow the same route to hut.
