Route Climbed: several Date Climbed: 1985 - 1994 - 1997
July 29th 1985 - east route
the "classical way" with a 20-person-group of the german alpine club. We planned to do the south east route but changed because of bad weather at that day. During descent one of us fell into a crevasse and it took 1 hour to bring him back on the surface
August 10th 1994 - east route
last day of a nice 5-day-hiking-tour through the Granatspitz group and Venediger group.We left the Prager hut before usual breakfast and were at 8 o'clock on top with still nice weather. There I took my first and my last gulp of "Red Bull"
May 9th 1997 - north route with ski
started at nice weather after 50 cm new snow the day before. At the Oberer Gletscherboden weather changed surprisingly and rapidly. We turned without crossing the last summit ridge in heavy storm and had some difficulties to find back to the Venediger-Scharte. An old climber we had met had exactly forecasted this developement. This was Markus Schmuck, first climber of the Broad Peak!
