In summer, the Dammkar cirque is a pure scree slope. The trail markings are sometimes very faded, making it difficult to find the official route, especially in the last third of the way to the summit.

Once again, the TKS, this time in fantastic weather. By bike to the cable car. The northwest ridge is the climbing highlight. The crux (grade III, gully/chimney) is made easier by a fixed rope. The traverse of the red gully at the summit and the so-called quick descent are less fun. Still, a great tour.
