@olson Yes, almost to this day 20 years ago, back in 2003.

I can still remember the dash that the various seilschaften did, in order to be the first to ascend via the coulour to the Mittelkarjoch. This is a very steep couloir with a high risk of rockfall, so normally only one seilschaft would be in the couloir at any given time. The first one to arrive has a significant advantage, as the other will have longer wait times.

This was the first tour that I organised for/with friends. We have been done that every 2 years ever since.

The Breslauerhütte (2'844m / 9'330ft) is a hut in the Ötztaler Alpen, Austria. The hut was built in 1882 making it an impressive 141 years old.

The primary summit which can be climbed from the hut, is the Wildspitze (3'768m / 12,362ft). After the Großglockner (which is only 30 meters higher), this is the second highest mountain of Austria.

From the village of Vent you can go up partially by cablecar, making the hut also a popular goal for dayhikes.
