Bushnell Legend Verses Nikon

Watz (Ötztal Kaunergrat)

Our original plan - as so often - in the Mecca of alpine ice-climb on a pilgrimage shrank gene weekend more and more: weather and work foiled our plans. But for us it's also nice :-) So get in the Pitztal Watz.
Originally we wanted to mit'm Edi and Arne meet at the parking lot - one of which lacked any trace. After an hour the call came from the deuces ...
slow down the clouds also more and more. Where's still sunny!?
hot: her on the middle basin of the glacier ice route. But great atmosphere and up to three other Tyrolese previously had no one to see.
on the upper bowl, turn left hand by a channel without major difficulties. But we remember either the level or our Quick Start. Something in the drive hooked since ... ;-)
with your skis still high until the beginning of the ridge. The rock lies the great climbing. Were just annoying snow conditions when snow sank again when set up.
exposed now really almost everywhere the clouds. Actually, the sun always seems anyway. At most, when the mountain is too low ;-)
According summit were even the first book we present this year up here! There's the? Unfortunately, the fresh wind was not very long here. On the descent we met in addition to the three Tyroleans Edi and Arne ... - Who wanted not only in the early tracks ;-)
sun and warm-up break on the descent ...
now still climbing? There is much difficulty after a beer, snacks, Cappo, ... inseparable from that sunny spot ...
It was a lot of pondering about the next day. The choice was the sexi-Gerti and Hochvernagtspitze. A little more faster then on Sunday the sun - almost before the sun ... But as bad as that one would have to turn around, but not wars then. So we came in to enjoy two beautiful and very lonely summit. Mmm, Panorama was just a bit limited ...

Facts
Watz [2000hm]
Ötztal, Ingenious Kaunergrat

tour from the Pitztal about the infamous ice route (max. 40-45 °), which emits in the winter but a great ski trip. The system has adorned by a beautiful ridge (Set II).
'm not like was the fan of superlatives, but a highlight of the winter skiing, the mountain intended :-)

The ice route I always remember him from directly address below. However, it is quite long at this nice seracs around - do not have to be. So again looked at the map and go from the left side not difficult directly to the central glacier basin. At the first summit
slightly left, then soon turn right on platy rock on the east side and the right Grataufschwung bypassed ... But actually resulting's also self

Sexegertenspitze, Hochvernagtspitze [1900hm + many, many miles]
from the middle and towards the mountain to the Taschachhaus source saddle. Previously, turned right and between the cracks in the yoke between two peaks. Southern. Sexegertenspitze is really just a snow cone on the Hochvernagtspitze may still about 150hm gravel, uh be climbed. When viewed
determined awesome.
