Rote Wand 1960m, Austria 29/3 2016







  This is a resting day. But we want something to do, so we take the
  Kanzelwandbahn up to 1948m. The original thought is to climb Kanzelwand,
  2058m. Here it is in the middle of the picture
.
  To start with, it's quite easy, and beautiful!





  The higher we get, the steeper it becomes. We move carefully, and a bit further
  than this picture we turn back, as the slopes reaches almost 60 degrees. This
  is a nice peak in summer, but not now
.
  We don't want to go back emptyhanded, so we look for an alternative peak.
  Close to the cableway station is Rote Wand, to the right in this picture. By
  descending some 50m we avoid the steepest slopes, then diagonal towards the
  summit.






  Dante making the final approach to the summit.   The view up here is spectacular. We can see Grosser Widderstein, 2533m, to
   the south.






  A bit more to the southeast.   To the north is the alpine border, with the German flatlands behind.





  Straight to the south, I believe.   Time for relaxing with a cappuccino before taking the cableway down again.
