Another case of underestimated alpine mountaineering: two locals (both 26) set off from Neustift in the Stubai Valley on Saturday for a challenging route to the 3,474-metre high Ruderhofspitze. Because they could no longer handle the terrain at 3,400 meters, they could no longer continue. They no longer saw themselves in a position to be relegated.
At an altitude of 3,400 meters on Saturday around 9:45 am in Neustift in the Stubai Valley, two local residents (both 26) realized that they could no longer go any further. But they also saw themselves unable to cope with relegation, so they couldn’t move forward or backward. “They had underestimated the Alpine High Tour and were therefore poorly prepared and not sufficiently equipped,” the police said.
Recovered by police helicopter
The two alpinists had no choice but to make an emergency call in the Alps. They were then rescued by the police helicopter and taken to the valley.
