Since my old climbing partner Christoph moved to Munich, our possibilities of making mountain trips together had become more limited. Yet still we always tried to squeeze in a mountain trip when once in a while I visited Munich, and so it was in February 1996 as I visited Christoph for a weekend. And after having discussed the different options, we decided to make a trip to Estergebirge near Garmisch-Partenkirchen for, with a little luck, to climb the highest mountain of that area: Krottenkopf. |
