The Icewelli is the mixed route
A little hidden to the right above the road from Ehrwald to Garmisch. The left route usually leads over a free-standing pillar - really huge if the conditions are right.
The Icewelli is actually the mixed route. Welli is a colloquial expression for the drunken state we were in when we drilled and climbed this route for the first time.
