Speed Riding Großer Priel (2515m)
Hi extreme wannabe gerlinde’s 😉
on friday marlene, michaela, birgit and me drove to hinterstoder at afternoon and we hiked up to the prielschutzhaus.
there we met stefan from czech republic. we did our dinner with 10 other guys from cz. they were 4 days at the prielschutzhaus for ski mountaineering.
we were lucky to sleep at a normal guesthouse room in the hut and not the crowded winter room.
nevertheless at 5am on saturday we woke up and started the tour one hour later. the sunrise was very beautiful and we needed 3 hours to the beginning of the brotfallscharte. we decided very fast to fix our crampons because marlene slided down 30m like in a bob run.
My heart sank into my boots.
we needed some time for the brotfallscharte but its better to go more slowly than to risk any dangerous situations. the view at the top of the brotfallscharte was really great. we admired the dachstein region and the great totes gebirge. at the secondary summit we stored our skis and hiked on the ridge to the summit of the großer priel. wowwwww what a nice feeling. after a break we hiked back to our skis and stefan and me we flew with our speedglider down to the jausenstation. so we had to wait 3 hours for our girls because they drove down to the klinserscharte and hiked another 500m’s of height up and skied down the dietlhölle which was very steep for skiing. but they managed it very good. congratulations to the girls team!! so stay tuned and cya at the great mountains.
have a nice week
bernhard
