The much -made stop route on the Zugspitze (2962 meters), the highest peak in Germany, demanded the first victim this year in an avalanche. The affected tour partners were on a mountain for the first time that day.
The Ehrwald Mountain rescuers are always ready for use. At the moment they naturally look very closely at the Zo -driven stopping route, which leads as a species via Ferrata on the Tyrolean area over the Wiener Neustädter Hütte to the highest peak in Germany.
Poor touring planning and self -transfer
Because it is literally stormed by German cliffs in the emerging spring. However, many of them fail because of poor touring planning or overestimate themselves. No wonder: 1700 meters height often separates the chaff from wheat and lead to emergency situations or accidents.
Snow Alpinist law tore 500 meters to depth
Anyway, the German (23) was huge last Saturday, which was torn 500 meters in depth by a wet snow avalanche when relegation over the descent on the descent on the descent on the descent. The emergency helicopter flew him to the hospital seriously injured, the Libelle Tyrol offered his unharmed but shocked companion.
Berggenoten met via the internet
“The duo got to know each other on the internet, the Zugspitze was the first tour together,” says Riccardo Mizio of the Ehrwald Mountain Rescue. One of the two wanted to take the Zugspitzbahn the valley with them, the other descended on foot. In the end the decision was fatal.
In short, the circumstances in the “Stoping Educator” are currently reasonably good, it is just as much snow as in the previous year, Mizio describes. He and his mountain of gross colleagues have to emit about 20 times every year for missions on the highest mountain in Germany. Most missions take place in the stop route.
Hotspot for missions
“Many make the mistake of climbing directly to Grat after the rope protection and can no longer get somewhere in the vertical, Brosse rock area,” says Mizio. This area is a hotspot for operations in Mountain Rescue. Instead of straight up, it is 90 degrees left to the old ridge station.
Mountain Rescuer put on the right track
So that the alpinists find the right route, Mizio put a trail in the snow on Saturday. The announced snowfall will show how long it stays visible.
