Looking forward to another weekend of warming sunshine and mountain beauty, two highly motivated people started to hike and climb – up and down. A few hours and one summit later, we had earned ourselves the view into the next valley, filled with green landscapes and blue mountain lakes. It was then, when we agreed to meet our third fellow at the desired destination of day 1 – the Sulzenauhütte.
At sunset we finally arrived. And after one bracing dinner plus a shandy we happily went to unpack our sleeping bags. Then again, I found myself in a room filled with only men… any concerns there? Never mind – feeling pretty surrounded but also sheltered by the male population I closed my eyes and enjoyed the absence of city noise.
Way before sunset, the morning light confirmed the sound of clattering rain, but nonetheless we decided to battle our way up to the summit – trough fog, rain and and freezing wind.
The last hours of clambering we experienced cold toes, frozen fingers and whole-body shivering – until we finally reached the cross on the summit – at best conditions (be aware – sarcasm!): the storm was even heavier and the sight reached as far as 2 whole meters – yeeey.
To come to a conclusion: our fellowship and the upkeeping of good mood in any possible circumstances were quite unbelievable.
Route: B’suchalm –> Nürnberger Hütte –> Sulzenauhütte –> Aperer Freiger –> Grawaalm
