On top of Hahnenkamm

On top of Hahnenkamm

Kitzbuhel, Austria. 26 November 1986

Went for another long walk. This time with three other Aussies, Cathy, Gaye & Dave. Up to the top of the Hahnenkamm mountain. Very steep, followed the famous downhill ski run virtually all the way. Feet were sinking into the snow and slipping over.

Made the top after 2 and a half hours. Had lunch on a bench with commanding views [altitude 1,712m]. Beautifully fine and clear. No one else was there, a rare sight. Walked along the ridge to a church.

Back down leaving at 3. Followed a road this time. Much longer, less steep, feet drier. Back in the darkness at 5pm.
