Großer Barmstein, Hallein
Bivy on the Barmstein
Another bivy night on the Barmstein, except this time in the snow. Adam likes it (apparently) when we do a route slightly outside his comfort zone, so we hiked up in the snow after work, ignored our snow shoes, and dug ourselves a coffin for a shivering night on the summit. The two bottles of wine helped.
Strichkogel, Dachstein Mountains
Strichkogel
1200m of ascent to the summit of Strichkogel, then 500m of steep couloir descent to follow. Final day out with Will Bourne to cap off the best 3 days of touring I’ve had so far in Austria. Good practice for Zermatt in April, and especially good shake down of Will's traversing and steep skinning techniques. Let's hope the Spaghetti tour is all up and down (spoiler: it wasn't...)
Rauschberg, Chiemgau Alps
Rossgasse Tour
A very hot day for touring, and a trip to the summit of Rauschberg for Will & I via the long forest path. Some good traversing practice for the splitboarder saw us to the top of the Roßgasse for a short powder descent on the 35° slope back to the car. A popular tour with the locals it seems!
Hoher Dachstein, Austria
Dachstein Kletterski
The Austrian Alps are in amazing spring condition right now, perfectly timed for Will Bourne's visit to Salzburg. We caught the first lift up to the glacier and then took the longer klettersteig from the base of the rock ridge to the summit of Hoher Dachstein. The wind loading on the skis, plus lack of cable under some exposed buried sections added a bit of spice, but overall it was a very awesome ski-klettersteig combo.
Baukogel, Taxenbach
Baukogel Skitour
A wonderfully white and silent morning tour to Baukogel 2224m with Evelyn. The 5am wake up was more than worth it to summit first through yesterday’s deep fresh powder. I only fell over once going down.
