Kraftkamin: a short route after failing convincingly
Beaten the day before, thunderstorms forecast — the Kraftkamin was the right answer.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The day before we’d failed convincingly. For this day the forecast said thunderstorms.
The two together normally mean you don’t set off at all. We went anyway, but with an adjusted objective: the Kraftkamin, short, up to the first terrace of the Totenkirchl, and therefore a route you can get out of quickly at any point.
Exactly right. You climb something good, you’re down in time, and the day isn’t wasted.
Not every drive to the Kaiser has to turn into a big face route.
