Leben Was Geht

Hi Dudes!
This weekend Neppi, Thomas, Christoph and me we drove to Podersdorf on the Neusiedler See for Kitesurfing. We had every day good storm conditions with wind up to 70km/h.
The only thing we needed was a 7m² kite. thx for this great stormy action weekend with a lot of meat too ;))
have a nice week and see you on the water

Hi Caveseekers!
Last day, i walked with two friends to the eislueg in hinterstoder for visiting the icecave eislueg!
first we had to hike up 850 metres of altitude with all our equipment. and that was a lot to carry…
from the entrance of the cave there came a lot of cold wind out of it.
than we had to put on our crampon. we had to avseil down 60m to the icelake. first i thought, we had no chance to cross the lake but i throwed a stone we saw, that under 5cm of clear water, there is good ice..
so we were lucky to cross the lake and then there were nice ice formations in the hall. look at the pictures.
we climbed further inside the cave and abseil down 25m into a slot.
on the other side we climbed up a 30 years old wood ladder. some scion were destroyed. then we climbed further inside the cave and ende after 2 ladders, because we had to be back at 6pm. that was our alarm time – you know.
we climbed back to the 25m slot.
then we had some little orientation problems because we needed 3 attempts to find the correct way back to the ice hall. every time we ended at the 25m slot. crazy. the way back looks so different then the way in.
but we were lucky to manage this problem too.
we came out at 5pm from the cave and unfortunately we got a nice welcome with thunderstorm and some rain.
but we get used to it after a while and ended at 7pm in hinterstoder.
thx for the nice day.

Hi Speedflyer and Skyrunner!
This Day Patrik and me(bernhard) we hiked up from Hinterstoder with our speedflyer Gin Yak to the Kleiner Priel (2136m above sealevel). we needed 2:45 hrs. nice walking 😉 then we waited one hour for good upwind and ran down like a 100m sprinter and jumped over a rock edge… Lo and behold! We were flying ;)) the first flight was really great because of no big thermal disruption.
We landed on the landing place in Hinterstoder.
Thanks to Daniela for the warm welcome at her flight school Hinterstoder.
Because we had so much fun we decided to hike up a second time. 1.5 liter water and everything is possible we thought – also at 32°C..
we managed the second walk in 3hours. unfortunately at the starting place we had some tailwind but it was possible to start in a lull.
we had good thermal upwinds. on the landing place there were “strong” windy conditons. after 3100m of height on this day and 5500m of height on the weekend i enjoyed the roast at the afternoon.
thx for the great weekend. cya on the mountains or in the air.
have a nice week.

Hi Skyrunners!
This day i hiked up from the almtalerhaus over the welserhütte to the grosser priel.
I needed 3:15 hrs with my speedflyer.
there were some skyrunners who need 2:21 hrs. from hinterstoder (polsterlucke) to the top of the grosser priel – respect!!
The early bird catches the worm!
what a nice view on the grosser priel.
Unfortunately there was no good northerly wind like predicted. so i decided to walk down.
The starting on the grosser priel with the speedflyer is not so easy…..
Tomorrow we’ll try another place for starting.
cya on the mountains or in the air…
have a nice evening!

Hi mountaineers and parchute addicted people!
this day we (andi and me) drove to hinterstoder and hiked up with our parachute to the kleiner priel to 2136m above sealevel in 3:45 hrs.
What a hot and nice day.
We had some northerly wind and we startet to south, but it was no problem beside some rotor near the ridge.
i saw the spitzmauer and the grosser priel from a different view than normal! what a nice 31min. flight full of thermal action.
at the landing there was strong valley wind. take care of this wind!!
someone was not lucky and landed in the tree.
thanks for the great day!
cya on the mountains or in the air…
have a nice evening!

Hi Waterliners!
This evening andi, cliff, martina and me we went to the wehrgraben in steyr for a nice 20m waterline because to do some nice jumps and to cool down…
great day!

Hi Rockaddicts!
This day, Harry, Patrik, Andi and me, we drove to Hallstatt to climb the via ferrata seewand at this very hot day and fly down with the speedflyer.
we needed 3 hours for the great nice and steep 850m of altitude differerence tour. one handsize stone fell down from the climbers above us and passed patrik 1m’s beside him. in the route we had there really stunning views. amazing!
harry tried to manage all the tour without needing the artificial stuff like the steel cable and so on.
He did very well – Congratulations!
Then we went to the Gjaidalm for lunch. After some important drinks we further up to the krippenstein, and tried to find some starting place for starting our speedflyers. unfortunately the main wind was from southwest and we had some upwind, but everywhere there were so many “Latschen” and the top of the krippenstein is to flat.
the parachute flyers were waiting for some lower wind – thats the difference.
we need more wind , they less. crazy.
nevertheless we went to the fithfingers and then we drove down with the cable car, because the thunder storm was coming.
rather climb down the mountain with the speedflyer in the back than crashing into some rocks at the start with the ass – muhaaa

You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.
The Trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

cya on the windy mountains.

On Sunday we hiked up on the normal route to the Tofana di Rozes.
we managed it with a hard 3:24 hours tour walking in the deep and steep and wet snow.
the mountain top is at 3225 metres above sealevel.
we had to be fast because a big cloud was coming in our direction…
we managed this start very good and harry had some really good upwind conditions inside the clouds. there is very grey 😉
we flew down to cortina d’ ampezzo and so i had also my first 2000m flight.
then we drove back home and saw the “drei zinnen” and then we drove to the großglockner hochalpenstrasse.
we did there also 2 flights but there i don’t show some pics because thats not allowed according the gamekeeper.
nevertheless we get addicted into this sport speedflying.
cya on the mountains and thx for this really nice weekend.
