Der perfekte Skitag

Die wirklich denkwürdigen Dinge lassen sich nicht planen.
So viel der Entschluss für unseren Skitag sehr kurzfristig aus.
Zwei SMS am Samstag gegen 20:00 besiegelten die Abfahrt tags darauf um 5:30. Mit Ziel Flachauwinkel machten wir (robert, peter und ich) uns auf den Weg.
Der weitere Tag in zwei Zeilen:
9:00 Uhr am Lift, leere Pisten für uns ganz alleine, Suppenstop, Abschlussrunde nach Zauchensee und um 19:00 wieder geduscht zu Hause auf dem Sofa.

Hier die zwei Jungs schon etwas "kniawach" nach vielen Pistenkilometern

Meeting the PROs - Petzl Roc Trip 08 - Zillertal

Last weekend I gave the Zillertal (valley in Tyrol/Austria) my first visit. The reason was the announced rock climbers gathering. From an active climbers point of view it was knockdown. The for me unfamiliar granit demand special motion sequences. But from an interested climbers point of view it was impressive. So I focused more on taking pictures of the PROs rather than climbing.

The freestanding massiv granit boulders seems to me sometimes like at assault vehicle from Star Wars

Did someone saw the climber?

I'll try that at my next visit

Lynn Hill climbs Moonwalk

Not much to hold on

Chris Sharma at Total brutal (8b+)

Hopefully I can repeat that .. as a climber and as a photographer.

Ratatouille a la Vienna june 08

Vienna enhance to place two in the Quality of Living global city rankings published some weeks ago. As I mentioned more than once for me it is the best place to live (at the moment).

No message about climbing this time? Right now the weather force us to make a break. The daily change of 30 degrees during the day and ...

BBQ with friends in our garden

... thunderstorms at night remind me on the weather during wet saison in Thailand. Especaliy when a tree collapse in front of our house. Luckily this time it doesn't smash on our roof.
