This is our guide, Heli Putz. In 86' Heli and two other mountaineers spent 90 days on Everest, climbing a new route to 8,640m (without any porters). Some of his other "minor" feats include leading three public expeditions on Mt. McKinley, skiing 8,000+ meter peaks in Nepal, and first ascents on more than 3,000 climbs in the valley surrounding Krippenstein.
Heli carried a cross (and a good bottle of wine) to the top of this peak to celebrate 20 years of guiding without any serious injuries.
Even though it hasn't snowed in weeks Tobi had no problem finding some untracked lines.
The ceiling of this cave is 30m high. You might recognize it if you happened to see the Red Bull White Rush event two years ago.
This is only the second time that Phil has ever hit a backcountry jump (cork 7 tail grab, first hit).
Everyone at the Lodge has been enjoying the sun. This last shot is a panoramic view from the top. Thanks for the pictures Michelle!
