ADVANCE WARNING : This trip is very long, physical and mentally nerve-racking and is identified only for true connoisseur and experienced mountaineer. Lot vehement and infinite way from Piosmes make straight itself on grassland Luibisboden - 2258 above sea level (asl.). There are two bivouacs and gigantic flatness with two small lakes, which set in green grass weed. Vista of Rofellewand - 3374 asl. is extraordinary. Annoyingly we rise through stone field about 1,5 hour as far as we get near group of big stones in the middle of snow field in 2700 asl. Here we put down our rucksacks and go up to the saddle Luibis scharte - 2914 asl. We pass plaguy big stones and snow. Then on the top under very bad marked way, which we finaly happily find, over desk stones and snow fields. There is an iron cross on the summit and vista of all Otztal Alps. We descent to our rucksack and build tents on stones and snow. Next day we start with long pass over deep snow to the saddle Sandjoch - 2826 asl. We can already see distant saddle Breithlanerjoch with small cross and especially the highest point of the trip Hohe Geige (3395 asl.) from there. Small lake is between two saddles, where we refill water. By descent to 2500 asl. saddle Rofkarljoch (2710 asl) opens for us. After today's nerve-racking combating with so many saddles it is foul. The way is especially steep and sporadically belayed. Because of that some places are under snow the passing is difficult. Next way continues by descent again !!! to the gorge 2500 asl and next by ascent using irons to the summit Gehwind (2650 asl), which is practicaly the end of western range of Hohe Geige. Here, direct close to top cross we overnight on about 3 meter broad edge. We set up the way to summit Hohe Geige without heavy back-pack, first over rockies later also over sharp edge and many uncomfortable ice traverses we reach the small lake under summit pyramid in 3220 asl. Further we go already without irons to the topcross, where we can see surounding Wildspitze (3770 asl), Stubai Alps, Watzespitze (3533asl.) etc. We even see the summit Wassertal Kg. (3252asl) far far away, which is set by orange plastic bivouac body (looks like UFO), which we must reach still today!!! Descent to Gehwind is little worse than the ascent nevertheless reachable. We are standing on the top after 2:40 hours. We decrease from the top to 2420 above sea level to the cottage Chemnitzer hutte and from there desperate rise as far as saddle Weismauráchkar joch (2953 asl). Remind you that we already stood on Hohe Geige. You can find water nowhere. There is much snow in the saddle and the whole range trip pass Mainzer hohenweg way looks like it wiål not be fairy tale (easy). The way is belayed, its like swaying, overcome 5 large firn fields. Its monotonous going on snowy very sheer slope last 250 meter to the top Wassertal Kg. (3552 asl). Bivouac UFO is precize construction with windows and all equipment. There is everything you want. Sleeping bags, cooker with gass bombs, food supply etc. Unofficially paid 3 EUR/man/night. Also latrine with vista of Watzespitze is under bivouac. After whole day trip over 3000 meter above the sea level we firstly cannot touch the breath even during phone call. Someone couldn't also touch the breath even during evening using latrine. We take a photo in the morning next tu summit pyramid and follow the edge passing belayed way Mainzer hohenweg. We go completely with heavy back-packs. We overcome next 3 summits higher than 3000 asl. and finaly descent to the cottage Braunschweiger hutte we miss out next valley. We also descent unmarked gorge Silberkar. We tumble because steepness and roll with axes in hand maybe most steep grass slope of all round as far as the river Pitz and Mittelberg (1736). We plan overnight somewhere on the way home so we hurry passing the road till Plangeross. Here one half of team surrender to reach our cars because of overtoil and swollen feed. Me and Lada continue for cars next 6.5 kilometers to Poismes. We return back for our "damaged" friends already by 4 wheels and we even drive to german bath in lake Chiemsee. Brave night bath other the whole trip I recommend to you warmly. We are awake and drive out in 3 am by mosquitos. The whole trip is only for masochistic confessor of moutain hiking. |
