Along further till the Glechsteinhutte. From here your off trail its scrambly rock hopping following cairns (difficult in the dark) but moving uphill until the glacier crossing. Spikes on head directly up the glacier spur increasing in steepness till hands and/or axe are used. Hop over the Bergschrund when ready. Here you must climb in grade 3-4 with no room for error.

Mt. Minsi (PA)

I started at the gate in the Mt. Minsi trailhead parking lot, then ran up the A.T. to the vista sign. Touched the tree the vista sign is on and turned around back the same way. I think touching the vista sign tree is a good definitive landmark to understand where to turn when red lining. As soon as you link back up with the fire road, you take that all the way down to the gate.
