Hello Espen.

Jörg already wrote a lot of details and explanations on the problems with fields of hard snow and the corresponding dangers.

One might add: In addition rain is also working on compressing the snow and increasing the humidity, which might get iced up.

In general the southern parts of the gorges are more difficult to go, but earlier free from snow (Pluderlingsattel, Gschuetzspitzsattel, Friesenbergscharte), of the mentioned only Gliederscharte is vice-versa: Southern part has longer snow but is easy to go.

Some samples of the last years, including some maps with colored inclines:

yellow: >= 30° and < 35° (>= 58%)
orange: >= 35° and < 40° (>= 70%)
red: >= 40° (>= 84%)
