The Zottenfall again
High avalanche danger, bad weather — so the route you already know. This time buried in snow.
Rolle-Fall: Joni's first ice route
A good fall in good conditions in the Zillertal. Joni's first — and probably not his sport.
Chéré Couloir: freezing, but excellent
First route of the Chamonix week. The weather was mediocre, the ice wasn't.
Linker Durchstieg: turned round after the second pitch
Good route, good ice. Franzi wasn't right that day, physically or mentally, so we went back down.
Eisenlehnfall: the upper section wasn't on
Nominally WI5-, but the ice up top wasn't climbable. Franzi led.
Kehlerfall: wet, but warm
Two short pitches in poor ice. Not the conditions you set out for.
Eckbachfall: the variation instead
The Eckbachfall proper was the plan, but the ice hadn't formed well enough.
Zottener Wasserfall: the WI4 is a guess
A spontaneous outing with Maxi, more or less a single pitch. We had no topo.
Rechter Zottenfall: still with the wrong kit
A good short route to start the year. The equipment was the same as on New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve on the Mittlerer Durchstieg
A hard ice route to close out the year, with a rappel I'd rather not think about.
First go at ice: Linker Zottenfall
Where the ice started. Not much kit, lightweight axes, and we got on it anyway.
