On this day, not much turns out
as expected. I use the cableway Brauneck
Bergbahn and then a short climb to the summin of Brauneck
1555m. It's just a
few minutes climb up here and some do it without skis or
snowshoes. |
It's
definitly a beautiful peak, with views north to the flatlands and south
to sharp alpine peaks. |

But my main target is further away. First I
intend to do the seemingly steeper
climb to Stangeneck
1646m, in the middle of this picture. Then continue
to Latschenkopf 1712m, here a bit to the left. In the
background,
to the left is Zugspitze. |
I
climb a smaller summit, where the path ends with a steep cliff. Must go
back and find another route, to pass it further down. |

A
look back to the passage a bit further down. This is really a
bit
too steep for snowshoes, but I pass with some care. I still don't know
that there is worse to come. |
A look
back on the lower summit after passing. |

After
a really steep climb where I needed to kick my snowshoes deep into the
snow not to glide down, and two narrow ridges with steep slopes on both
sides... |
it
now lookes like this ahead. Slowly, I start to realize why there are no
ski- or snowshoe tracks here at all. Almost up to the flatter part now,
but I turn around for safety reasons. It's very steep on both sides and
I don't want to pass here. |

Back
at Brauneck again a while later. Later on I realize that I wouldn't
have had the time to climb Latchenkopf even if I could. The
time
it took back to the airport to catch the plane home was just what I
needed. Well, what do you know... I got back home, and in one peace... |
