Hi Cave Seekers!
Yesterday, Mathias, Jonathan and me we drove to Altausee to the Loser for Caving the Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle.
We slept near the Car outside with our sleeping bag. What a wonderful clear stars night.
This day we stood up early in the morning and walkd 1:45 hrs to the entrance Elefanteneingang from the Schwarmooskogeleishöhle.
We had a nice narrow entrance into this wonderful cave.
After some ice climbing we went to the schneevulkanhalle. thats the bigged ice hall from europe. what a big delay.
Then we were happy to had a really great phenomen.
between 10:40 and about 11:00 the sunlight came into the hall over the elefanteneingang and we needed no lamp for this big cave.
What a nice mood.
Then we walked little bit further an icewall upwards and than little bit downwards until there was too much water, where you need some neopren suit to cross this passage.
at 2pm we walked back to the car.
Then i ran up to the Loser and had some really great speedflying down to altaussee.
Thx for this great weekend.
Autumn can be so fine.

Hi Speedflyers and Skyrunners!
This wonderful autumn day Patrik, Harry and me we drove to Hinterstoder and hiked up 2 times to the Kleiner Priel (2136m) for Speedflying with our Gin Yak and Nervoures Swoop.
First there was some Fog in the Valley, but after 30min we could blow away the fog with our positive vibrations 😉
The wind comes from west to southwest – little bit strange.
The launching of the speedflyer was a little bit tricky because of some sidewind conditons.
Patrik found a nice line down to Hinterstoder -Big Respect!
Thx for the great day!

Hi altitude Speedflyer and Skyrunner!
Last weekend I went up with Patrick to the Großer Priel three times for speedflying…
On Saturday we hiked up in 3:30 to the mountain top at the grosser priel (2515m).
We had to wait three hours to get good visibility for a safe flight.
At 2pm we were lucky to start our speedflyer gin yak near the brotfall with some thermal upwind and some easterly wind.
We had a really great flight which took us 8mins to flew down to the jausenstation.
At the valley we decided to hike up a second time. At 6pm we flew down with less thermal upwind down to the Jausenstation Polsterstüberl.
We were lucky to manage a start, because first it seemed that we had to go downwards by feet because of some backwind.
With enough positive vibrations you can do nearly everything 😉
On Sunday we hiked up a third time to the brotfall.
It was a really wonderful great day for hiking on the mountains.
Harry was highly motivated and drunken of speed because we did a nice time with our gear up to the brotfall.
At 14:30 we helped martin to launch his “big” parachute. Martin will be the next speedflyer in our group I think. 😉
We had an amazing flight downwards to hinterstoder with some spirals and some other moves.
The barrel roll has to wait for the next time, when the air is not so stubborn, you know. 😉
Thx for the wonderful mountain weekend and see you on the mountains.

Hi Exit-Lovers!
Yesterday Harry, Patrik and me we started at 5:00am to the dachstein for climbing the pichlweg. in our backpack we put our speedflyer for flying down the dachstein.
before the climbing start we had to climb and cross a small steep ice field. that was really dangerous because we were so clever to take no crampons with us. aaaaaa
at 7:00am we started as the first team in a 3 person climbing team the pichlweg. the topo you can find here.
it was a really nice and great climbing compared to the more than overcrowed famous steinerweg, which is not more beautiful.
we decided for the best tour.
at 09:50 i got a sms: “Sind am exit – springen in ca. 10min.martin”
so we waited for about 30minutes . “EXIT” And then we saw martin and his friend jumping down over the “münchner kamine” downwards the dachstein southwall with their wingsuits. first the fly down closely over us and accelerated and then they turned right and flew close the southwall westwards and further to the south where they opened their parachutes on a small grassfield near a way. what a feeling to look to one of the best extreme sport.
after this nice interlude we climbed further the nice tour and finished at 12:00am at the ridge. the we climbed upwards the eastridge first to the exit point where the basejumper jumped down and then to the mountain top. what a nice feeling to reach the dachstein 2998m on a fair-minded tour. thx for harry who did a really nice climbing as a leader.
after our lunch we went to the western ridge and found a small start place, where harry and patrik startet their speedflyer and flew down to ramsau. respect!! i went down to the cable car, because i felt not comfortable to start the speedflyer alone in this really “stoney” starting place. in the winter i will fly for sure the dachstein! yeahh.
thx for this really great tour!
dachstein is everytime worth it.

Hi Relaxing Dudes!
On our last day we spent some hours for cliff diving, swimming and relaxing in the the Valle Maggia and Valle Verzasca in tessin. thats an really amazing spot with white limestones and clear water pools. wonderful.
jumps down from about 20m’s were possible.
Werner put his digicam on the roof of his car, we drove about 30km’s around switzerland and found the camera on the roof of the car at the petrol station. the camera got fixed on the rails. good engineering job from bmw 😉
thx for this great vaccation in the beautiful switzerland.
MERRRRCI. 😉
cya as soon as possible in the mountains.

Hi Mountaineerers!
On sunday we drove with the gornergrat bahn from zermatt to rotenboden. Unfortunately the new monte rosa hut was fully booked. so we had to take our cmaping and biwak gear with us.
We needed 02:48′ from rotenboden to the new monte rosa hütte.
At the gorner glacier we saw many mountain tourist from england and other countries who are staying a night with an alpine guide on the new most modern hut. they hut was the next coming 3 weeks fully booked. 98% of the bookings are mountain tourist who are not willing to climb up a mountain top. so all the “real” mountain aspirants had to sleep in their own tent and bring all the bivouac gear with them.
i want to claim the sac for this bad situation.
i think there should be at least 50% free for the alpinist who wants to do a reservation some days before.
nevertheless we found a nice place with a great view to the matterhorn. at the evening we hiked up to the “obere platte”.
the sunset was really amazing and we slept more or less in our tent.
at 02:20am we stood up and had our small breakfast.
we started at 02:45am and hiked up to the glacie beginning. we passed a group from italy and we struggled through the calving glacier. we walked thorugh crevasse with 20 or more metres depth. sometimes we heard some strange noises from the tenesion when we walked on the glacier. this was not a really great feeling but werner was lucky to find the way thourgh this dangerous part of the glacier.
then we ran up to the monte rosa glacier. the sunrise was amazing too. thanks a lot.
first we had to climb on the steep ice shoulder and then there was a very nice but short rock climbing to the mountain top dufourspitze at 4634m.
we needed 05:30′ for the hiking. then we we abseil down on fixed ropes to the silbersattel and climbed up our second 4000m mountain top on htis day, the nordend 4609m. there was one difficulty grade 3 climbing point on the ridge. really great climbing with the heavy gear in this altitude. there was a lot of cold westerly wind. i flew down with my speedflyer gin yak the glacier until the calving glacier. because it was to dangerous for werner to climb alone through the glacier.
we arrived at 01:45pm our tent and went back to the gornergrat. we reached train at 18:00 and we felt absolutely exhausted. werner slept in the train when we drove down the nice scenery….
you can imagine that we had a good and long night for recovering.
thx for these nice days.

Hi Mountain Speedies!
On Saturday we drove to Zermatt and we used the cable car to drive up to the Klein-Matterhorn at 3884m.
We hiked in very good conditions to the breithorn in 01:06′ at 4164m above sealevel.
What a nice view around. we could see about 150km’s.
We were happy to met the mountain professor. he explained us all the mountains around us.
Like monte viso, Grand Paradiso, Mount Blanc, Walkerpfeiler, Weisshorn, Jungfrau, Dent Blanche, Matterhorn, Zinalrothorn, Obergabelhorn.
At the mountain top there was a verry strong northwesterly wind. so i flew down with my speedflyer gin yak to the south and then i made a turn into the wind, i used all my speed range to fly down in the northern direction because of the strong wind and the nozzle effect.
nevertheless i flew near the breithorn mountain and i crossed the unterer theodulglacier. i had a hard landing in an small valley, because i wouldn’t dare to fly further down because of so many trees, cable cars and high voltage cables.
nevertheless i had a lot of fun to fly in such an amazing scenery.
thx a lot!
we were happy to get a sleeping place in the Hotel Bahnhof in Zermatt. It has an alpine flair and affordable prices.
The streets in Zermatt are filled with enough yodelling kitsch to make heidi cringe. 😉
