Festigrat Route
This climb is one of my favorites. We didn't have a lot of information about the peak or the routes. My dad, brother and I just went for it and were lucky enough to be successful. Tons of fun!

Descended Festigrat
Descended Festigrat after completing Tasch-Dom traverse - we were fairly fit and descended from summit of Dom to Randa village in about two and a half hours (but over 20 years later my knees are paying the price for descents like this!).

Good alternative
Up to the summit along Festigrat, down by normal route. Quite a long day (though it would've lasted bit shorter) due to not a very fantastic aclimatisation. However, nice route, technically - not very demanding (UIAA II at most, one moment to be frank). Good and worth recoomendation alternative to the Normal.
We summited in not perfect snow conditions ("dry" summer, more rocks visible than foreseen, so the "icy moments" were found as well).
Climbed with Igi, brade and Matti.

Beautifull, long route to the Dom
Beautifull tour to the summit of the Dom. Perfect conditions on the Festigrat and Grand Beau! Long descent all the way to Randa (3000meters).
