In Engelberg lots are doing the beautiful classic Wendenlücke. However, if you just look a bit to the east you will find Resend Nollen (3003m). If the conditions are in your favour, and you are comfortable bringing a rope and know how to navigate glacier terrain and a bit of exposure, then this is a true beauty in the backyard of Engelberg.

This day the crampons were unnecessary but being early in the season we decided to get as much moments of practice in as possible.
