Description

Holzgauer Wetterspitze East Ridge Lechtal Tyrol

August 1, 2019 – Public Holiday!

The East Ridge on the Holzgauer Wetterspitze is on the agenda.

We – that’s regular guest and Everest summiteer Karsten Lafrenz, yours truly (Hubs Lindner, operator of Mountain School Lechtal), and Martin Fiala (mafia-photography.com) – set off early in the morning through the wet alpine grass and past Fallenbacher Lake towards the imposing East Ridge of the Holzgauer Wetterspitze.

My decision was made the evening before. To establish a logical line on the central pillar of the cone-shaped buttress with guest and photographer on the rope. Just in case, I brought a small drill and 3 bolts plus 2 regular pitons. It was clear that the climbing would be exposed and difficult to protect at the latest on the East Ridge.

Everything done right!

I was able to use the gear strategically and perfectly protect the rope team during the ascent. On the descent, a bearded vulture glides just a few meters over our helmets. My favorite bird here in the Lechtal Alps rounds off the day.

The line earned its name: Bearded Vulture Variant
