We drove back up into the hills from Oetz. It was sunny again and it felt very much like spring. We parked and headed up a very churned up track into the hills. Turing right we aimed towards Zwölferköpfl. Johannes D and Rachel went ahead as Rachel needed to get back to the train station early. Johannes R headed off his way and I went off mine. Craig and I mostly stuck together. The snow seemed very slushy and after some time I found myself on a very steep avalanche prone slope with Craig. We continued up a little but little cracks in the snow appeared. Bailing we met Johannes R who had made a navigational blunder and had headed around the back of the mountain where it was too steep to ascend.

The three of us headed up on flatter slopes, that steepened again towards the end to the summit. A short break in the spring weather and we skied back down.

I’m sure I already wrote about this but I think I lost the draft… It’s now a year later.

And now it’s two years later! How time flies.

Here are the photos from the trip including this tour…
