An alpine climbing and walking guide to the Stubai Alps which straddle the Austrian-Italian border east of the Silvretta, Oetztaler and Zillertaler ranges and which provides a good introduction to alpine climbing. Covers the Triblaun Group, Habricht-Serles Group, Eastern and Western Hauptmkamm, Windacchkam, Botzerkamm, Sulztalkamm, Ruderhofspitze-Schrankogel-Lisenser-Fernerkogel Group, and the North-West Stubai.
This guide gives a selection of walks and easier mountaineering routes.
The guide has some good line diagrams and monochrome photodiagrams, not to mention a few cartoons. The information is comprehensive but presented as a series of notes so a map and ability to put together your own itinerary from the facts provided is useful. The climbing descriptions are mainly of routes of F and below with a few of PD and AD, but all the major peaks and many others are described.
