Climax

The mountain has been conquered! 3029m on Schlegeis glacier. In weeks-long ordeal by wind and weather, spared from avalanches and rockfall, Huber and Aichner have now reached the highest point of their expedition. Finally, it went through knee-deep snow gelatinous. The sight of the boat at the top puts us into euphoria, but the decline is still ahead. The boat must be let down over 80 m, before it will be pulled down over rocks and boulders. Will we be able to keep our schedule? Will the boat reach the ground in one piece so it can continue its journey towards the horizon? Follow the expedition on our map-based diary !
