Winterbegehung Zugspitze Nordwand „Himmel und Hölle“ mit alternativem Ausstieg und ohne Seilbahnunterstützung
Um 4:55 Uhr starten Michaela und ich am Parkplatz der Eibsee-Seilbahn. Es ist trüb und graupelt leicht. Im Morgengrauen stehen wir unter der Nordwand der Zugspitze. Die straffe Westströmung wirbelt im Gipfelbereich Schnee auf, der sich in Form von Spindrifts über die Wand ergießt.
Rubihorn Nordwand, „The Nameless Route“, M6+, 355 m, 9 SL
Brüchiger Fels, schottrige Bänder, Nässe, jede Menge Gras in der Wand – die Beschreibung eines guten Kletterziels liest sich für gewöhnlich anders. Doch im Winter wendet sich das Blatt: Die Nordwand des Rubihorns wird zum attraktiven Mixedkletterziel.
Mosquito Circus – Solobegehung + Update Topo und Routeninfos
Im Frühjahr 2019 hatte ich einen kleinen Crash beim Bergsteigen – einen Sturz ins Seil aufgrund eines Schneebrettabgangs. Nach mehrmonatiger Verletzungspause tastete ich mich im August wieder ans Klettern heran. Dieser Bericht handelt von meiner ersten größeren Tour.
„Morbus Brexit“ (300 m, M7)
Obwohl der Herbst so trocken war, hat sich wieder diese kühne Eisspur gebildet, die herausfordernd in der Mitte der Wand klebt und auf direktem Wege zu einem Dachriegel führt. Es sind die besten Zutaten für ein weiteres Abenteuer am Aggenstein, dem Berg mit den vielen Gesichtern…

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.
