First day of
Glacier Mountaineering Course was behind us (
13553) and we were ready to conquer the highest mountain of
North Tyrol and 2nd of
Austria,
Wildspitze, 3770 m. Early self service breakfast in
Breslauer Hütte and a liitle past 5 a.m. we were already walking. After first dry meters we started to walk on the snow. We passed the almost extinct glacier Mitterkarferner to Mitterkarjoch, a pass on altitude of 3470 meters. From there we descended to Taschachferner, a nice glacier, where we formed glacial formations. Some lightweight juniors were lucky and they could easily walk on top of new snow, while the snow skin was too thin for others, still we all made it to the end of the glacier and by that time, we were just 10 minutes away from the top of Wildspitze.
We all gathered at the cross at the top of the mountain and after a photo session we started to return back. We stopped for an hour on the glacier, near some cracks, and there we practiced the rescue maneuvers. All filled up with new knowledge, we returned back to the hut, where we packed our backpacks, drank all the remaining liquids, that were safely deposited in the snow and returned back to Vent, where the vans were waiting for us.
Our plan, to stay one more day somewhere around fell into the water, since it started to rain and the forecast was really bad, so we just returned back home. This year we also didn't forget about our fellow Austrian police officers. For speeding we gave them 40€.
A little past 5 a.m. we were already on our way
