Two days hiking, mountaineering and a little bit of climbing with my son.
We departed yesterday morning and started our little adventure at Bristen Kohlplatz. We hiked up to the Etzli hut SAC, which is currently closed for renovation.
After an hour break we climbed up the east ridge of Rossbodenstock and trained alpine climbing, rope handling a.s.o. The climb it self is nice and not too challenging. Ideal terrain for training. We were able to leave the climbing shoes in our backpack.
And the Best: Nobody else there thanks to the closed hut.
After that we picked up our luggage and finally found a nice spot for the night.
As both of us were quite exhausted this morning we opted for the shortest option and did some climbs at the climbing garden Spillauplatten before descending to the bus stop.
Currently we are sitting in the train back home, exhausted but happy. -

The legendary mountaineer Nirmal Purja is among 10 climbers killed in an avalanche on Broad Peak in Pakistan. The tragedy has sent shockwaves through the global mountaineering community.
Purja rose to fame through the documentary 14 Peaks featuring his record-breaking climb of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

Sitting in a plane at regular cruising altitude and being just barely above eye level of mountain peaks is…something else entirely
Nanga Parbat. 8126m/26660ft. God damn she tall.

Reading discussions about yesterday's Grossglockner news (about the Austrian whose girlfriend died of hypothermia close to the peak of Grossglockner in january and who has now been charged with grossly negligent homicide) I think that maybe we have to remind people that:
- It's a 3798 m mountain (12 460 feet). It's dangerous in a windy winter night, but it's not the Mount Everest death zone when it comes to height and oxygen and the risk of high altitude sickness. Don't know why people would bring up Everest as a comparison.
- It's absolutely not relevant what the law says in other countries or what the law "typically" says in someone's opinion. It's only Austrian law that matters here.
- Just because other people were murdered in the mountains doesn't mean that was the case here. The case was investigated and the authorities decided to indict him for grossly negligent homicide so they don't think there was an intention behind it.

CW: climbing accident (fatalities)
Wow. Really bad climbing accident out in Washington at the North Early Winters Spire, three people died when a rappel anchor failed and they all fell down a steep couloir. On the face of it, strikingly similar to the infamous Sharkfin Tower tragedy back in 2005 which also killed three people.

This man's successful ascent of a very difficult mountain (against the wishes of the team leader) in the early 50s is an unmade Werner Herzog movie.
"Accompanied by an imaginary companion he fought his way across the plateau to reach the Silver Saddle at 17:30 from where he could see the tent."

It's #MountainMonday, and looking on my #SportsTracker diary, I found an adventurous hike to the highest mountain of the Rieserferner Group, #11YearsAgo 😎
Starting in Rein in Taufers (1550m), we hiked 10km and 1900m gain up to the Hochgall (3436m): it was demanding, long, and sometimes very steep and exposed… therefore absolutely amazing! 🤠
