Griffith - working day

So since I'm at Griffith, I am fully in everyday work! Have not had to work every day now, except of course on weekends. I do work in the 4th Alternate largest wine producer in the world (Casella) and at different Huehnerfarmen. However, this Massenhuehnerhaltung absolutely not my thing ... a farm has 10 to 12 stables and a barn has 20000-40000 chickens .. you can then wander through and dead Huehnereinsammeln and aehniches, but I will not spend even describe. In the wine factory, however, it is rather monotonous assembly line work, but I prefer the opposite huehnerfarm .. eg if you control bottles are flying in the wine, check the boxes that the bottles are right in there including a cut cardboard or wrong is poured away bottles produced and destroyed the bottles:) ... the money is on both but really good :-)

else can it is really good here, bear! Hostel people are all great on it and you always have a lot of fun. Desöfteren be started here cool poker games:) and every weekend we celebrate together in a small club in the village or simply sit with a few beers! During the week is rather dead pants .. everyone works
at different times, so I have late nights this week for example, and then sleep the day and I watch a film .. maybe stay here We now have up to 10.5. approximately. I must say that does really well, again to be longer at one place and set up and get to know people properly. Then it goes to Melbourne and then on the great ocean road! However, it is not clear whether our car or something else .. because next weekend I want frank and wash our car, camping taff count, take pictures and a short description to make .. If it works here it would be just too simple and we must not spend weeks in Sydney .. if we sell the car it is still totally open to where it goes to the Great Ocean Road .. Frank probably would like to fly to Tasmania. and I'm still thinking about New Zealand, West Coast, Figi Islands or Frank to Tasmania. let's see what still is. end of June, I must anyway be in Perth for my flight back home in the beautiful :-)

otherwise I experience here for the time not so much, but I'm soon be pictures of the surroundings here and from work.

oh but I am / was really sick the first time in Australia, plus cold fever ... I hope it is now slowly getting better .. is really annoying, in a hostel to be sick!

which extends into not more than 2 months!
ps photos to come soon

Things To Write To Sister

The victims have been worth

Since Martin was anyway in Munich, we wanted to hang the weekend in the mountains turn. Though planned well in advance, this time seemed to be well disposed towards the weather. We started at 5:00 on Friday in Munich and drove to Hinterbichl / Osttirol. After Felbertauerntunnel we are first submerged in the fog, but the visibility was down to the Virgen already much better and even the sun could be just looking. After all the preparations we set off shortly after 9 in order to clock on to ski backpack. Optimistically, we have opted for the trail. The was, however, at some point in the forest and so we changed it on the fairway. Until the return to the mine, we had to carry the skis, then we could on the last corner (Avalanche) ascend snow. On Gumbachkreuz we took a break and cooled us: Except for the underwear I had not much of it was incredibly hot. The way on to St. John's lodge is primarily track and pretty flat. where we first water balance with soup and Almdudler filled. It was now 12:00. After Johannishütte it went uphill again at last, our main enemy was the heat and we were often want to drink something else. Luckily I had time to pack Camelbag more than 1 liter. In the final meters to Defreggerhaus we crossed a steep slope. Although the snow was very slushy, yet had slipped.
The hut was open over the weekend, but very spartan. I was happy not to have to sleep in the winter room, which did not look particularly inviting. We used the rest of the Afternoon us from the lodge to warm up (in the house was ice cold) and watch the way tomorrow and study. In the evening there was only one soup, the landlord was from the "scheduled", but he also had to provide the Tyrolean ski contest vigorously with brandy and wine and had to do with it enough. For us there was only tea for € 4.40 / l (tea water was allowed to buy only to go - the logic was not obvious to us). We then fled but relatively quickly from the humid cheerful room to pack our bags and get some sleep. From the bedroom was not too much, said one part, celebrated in the room until two clock at night with guitar and various songs, the other, it was so cold that I use liner and cap lay in bed. The camp for 50 people wanted with four just does not get warm. Then when the alarm clock rang at 4:00, I had to have slept at all the feeling. Quietly left the camp and will früstückten in the room with head lamps (there was Snickers and pick-up and a cup of tea). wanted Just before 5:00 we were ready to go after even a Tyrolean teach us is that we would be much too early.
But we finally had something before. We climbed up on the normal route to Mullwitzkees. We wanted to pass at an altitude of 3000 meters. When we tie in directly attached to the helmets after not again having to settle down and also it was much warmer. Here I watched a tiny one second and whoosh was not on my fur bag fell off. The wind did the rest of his then and probably now lies in a crevasse in a yellow coat Mullwitzkees bag. Finally, we decided yet, the glacier above the columns cross-zone and aimed straight for the Aderlscharte. This could be easily overcome. On top of the pass we took a short break to have to eat something and drink tea. Before us lay the Dorferkees. We had a little slip and then rise to the scour and the columns around the direction of lamb chops. The snow was frozen and when the glacier steepens slipped two of us, but luckily we had crampons it. We enjoyed the view of the sunlit mountains and the rest, we were finally alone on the road. Just before the bergschrund we modified - Ski to the backpack, crampons and ice axes were now announced. Crossing the bergschrund introduced us to the first challenge, which was not deep, but a step but relatively wide. Crossing Martins headlamp fell off her helmet and we still looked after her as she slid into the crevasse. After we both were on the other hand, we could actually stop anything. The gutter in front of us, she looked beautiful, but the peak we could not see. The first meters I fell pretty hard, after which the snow nice and we had really good Trittfirn. The sun popped so down on us, I just sweat. Approximately in the middle of the channel was a small shadow spot. Here we took a short break and I moved at least from the snow-on sunglasses. Also, all vents were open, yet we continue to sweat. The peak we could see the rise and so does not feel the tour took no end. Eventually, Martin said, the ridge was almost there. The voice betrayed the vicinity of the summit. The last meters to the summit gave Martin track my work in the powder. I was pretty down when I was up, but it was also quite interesting the puzzled faces of the masses observed at the top :-). The view was terrific, especially the Stüdlgrat looked wonderful. After a leisurely look round we headed towards depot. There, we found a quiet place to build and jausneten. It had become now 11.00. Nevertheless, some cliques gene flow peaks, partially roped in part without rope. The snow looked pretty in soft, finally had the whole morning the sun shone and it was quite warm. We decided to go the normal route towards Defreggerhaus and not even to climb the Rainer Horn. Martin was with the rope up the rear. The snow was really nice to drive aufgefirnt and well, anyway I was cautious because of the columns. The helicopter had been called to a column that is fall. On Defreggerhaus we packed our things, we got rid of all unnecessary gear and drove through the valley from the St. John's hut. Meanwhile, some wet snow slides were made, the snow had to drive some really hard, you always slumped back into holes. On the Johannishütte we first made lunches: The steak tasted good and the efforts for today were over. After the hut, it was a nice drive out, the snow was within the last day has become much less and so we had to carry almost from the Marfer Albl. The valley taxi was in constant use, but we spurned the offer and preferred to return on foot back to the car. So I've done so now but on the wholesale Venetian - which come to those who wait. decided

After a brief stop in Hollerbach and necessary Materialsortiererei Martin and I still continue on to the Kaunertal. Glorious weather for Sunday was also predicted, and there we were, especially me, have an open account.

As always, we turn later than planned and it was 10:00 when we were in our sleeping bags. This time it was nice and warm and quiet, so I slept till fantastic to 4.30. The sky was clear, and as I stood on it, although my motivation and fatigue I said something else. After a quick breakfast we were on our way to take a look at the wall of the Weißseespitze. Meanwhile, it was reasonably bright, but the sky was suddenly well covered. My sense told me that it was not a good idea, in the north wall to enter and so we opted for another hour of sleep. The next sight of the wall, it was already 7:00, the clouds had cleared and the conditions seemed right, I also felt much better and so we decided to enter anyway. Directly in front of us three others had gone off, but without skis. The ski area we had traversed quickly, and we also wanted to increase the lower part of the wall with skis (40 °). The ascent went smoothly, the only bare eat Elle could be wonderful around the left. On the climb, we realized that we were able to go further down on skis, so we hitched only to about 3200m on crampons and ice axes to. Through our three predecessors had already set a track and most of the snow proved to be a beautiful Trittfirn. As the track direction but bare spots led to the left, we deviated to the right by the rocks. This was going much easier, even if we sometimes had to dig through powder snow. For a change, we were two hikers receive from above that left the north wall. Somehow pulled out the rise but longer than expected. After the steep section flattens the wall again and it takes a while until you see the summit cross. The last meters we covered over the ridge (the direct route has too many columns). Up on the top it was warm and sunny and we were soon on the descent, because the snow was getting softer. Despite anti-balling plate snow stuck to my crampons, the snow was too sticky. The west ridge runs like chewing gum, one must again about 3 "hump" over. Since we had the ski here, we pondered what, in the meantime to take the edges, but the top was clearly too steep - after the sun was very strong. At the penultimate cusp but we decided to but to drive on the edge, there were already signs inside and the snow was relatively dry. Nevertheless, we navigated the slope separately. Nice ride but he was not, but had already formed a slight crust cover. Glad I was out of the slope to be outside. The last few yards, we went on the trail back to the car.

Actually, you can not plan such a weekend and yet it managed to pull through everything: the conditions, the weather and our Constitution fit together easily and in spite of the lost bag and coat the headlight is only one conclusion: Simply brilliant!

Does A Tattoo Make Your Arms Look Bigger?

we're all ...

... thanks to the bad weather forecast have Anja and I moved our departure to Switzerland for two days and I took advantage of the offer by Andi with the Rauris valley come. The weather forecast for the eastern Hohentauern was actually quite useful, it was always worth a try. After we parked the car dutifully Lenz on Anger, we are the half-hour with full gear to the hut has gone up (if one can speak of ascent). We also seemed to be the only ones not parked outside the front door.
Saturday we wanted to look sun, like almost all those who had slept in the Nature Friends House, and from the valley mountain rescue arrived. We took our time, the visibility was bad, the weather and as a diurnal variation of the avalanche danger was not expected. The higher we got, the worse the view and it turned out, the question of whether the summit will be something. We made a pleasant break at about 2700m near the Rojacher hut, just before crossing the glacier, Andi and Christoph Wiedemann mounted the block, and then decided, off skins. The descent was quite nice, at least I had fun. Because we were so early return to the lodge, we offer to use the sauna of the house came in handy :-) So was the time until dinner and the evening quite entertaining themselves long: The Mountain Rescue celebrates its victory in the local curling tournament which was held on the afternoon before the hut. Eventually this shifted your party land to our table and so gabs liquor in vast quantities. And I've earned the inclusion in the mountain rescue, if they still can remember it? the Sunday we left after the long week to tackle very comfortable. The weather was no better and so we decided to use Kolmkarspitze. We climbed over the ridge on Seekopf. Thanks to the few fresh snow we had a brilliant departure from us. The top to move between blown and drifted snow, but it was in Kar great hanging with powder. That was a really nice ending to a very foggy weekend and come back to this area, it is worthwhile in any case.

Half Board Full Board Difference

The first blast of the year

Since mid-January, I had not been to ski tour and it was now finally time to go back to time, ski before the season ends. Easter seemed an appropriate weekend and I broke up with Michael, Marc and Andi to Gries. It was getting late and we could get away to, It was already dark. It was snowing and the moonlight was nothing to see. But with the head torch route was very easy and comfortable to be walking toward the Amberger hut. Shortly before 10 clock we arrived and there had already been waiting for Andi and Chris. Fortunately we got to eat something, because I had a murder hunger.
As was predicted for Friday, the best weather, we decided to go to the Schrankogel (3496 m). For this purpose, we run the Sulztal the flat back and turn just before the contraction to the left. The road runs on the slopes towards the Black Mountain also high. After a short break in the sun we went through this until the depot on the east side of Schrankogel. Columns could be seen on the addition of nothing, in spite of the little snow. We had started late and the depot was already quite full. The last 400 hm, we went walking along the ridge towards the summit. Here I was struggling again against the height and the high steps in the powder. According to tour description is of a ridge II, with the snow he was going to be very light and exposed at any point. At the lower summit, we were alone, the last Gratschneide had not dared to cross over and we did not. However, we were somewhat surprised when some drove off the steep north wall. Except for a small slab remained but fortunately all the snow where he was (at least it was a 3 and the slope is steep in places, about 40 °). Even otherwise many channels were first felt fresh, which surprised us. After a beautiful panoramic view we started the descent. Just before the depot came to us on a guided group meet on the long rope - we were glad when we were here over. After the first exit, which was really nice ride in the powder, the boys decided to have a tendency to rise to P 3254th Although I was pretty tired, but still went with a piece until I was done simply. Since Michael had turned around, we drove off to the hut.
was predicted for Saturday afternoon against Fönsturm and so we used the morning with a shorter tour. We wanted to head down to the rear (3225 m). For this purpose, we run the the Sulztal to the glacier end and turn left again. The valley runs in an L-shape towards the summit. In the south, the clouds have already swollen and although it was in the ascent was very warm, whistled at the top already a dashing wind. So we went on because of the huge group of peaks, the exit quickly. The first slope was exposed to the wind, but it offered a more beautiful powder. Overall, we enjoyed the descent, especially two completely untracked slopes in the lower part made you feel good. The boys still needed an additional exit and climbed the glacier towards Daunjoch up. I was pretty tired, the day before I put it quite in the bones and went directly to the hut. The hoped-for great additional departure offered the boys, unfortunately, not anymore, it was now drawn fairly.
For Sunday, bad weather with some cloud gaps in the morning and showers was forecast in the afternoon. So we decided to Kuhscheibe (3189 m) to try and turn in poor conditions. The weather was amazing but good and so we went, like many others, for Roßkarferner. After the first steep section, you walk through hilly terrain very far to the west, before it steepens again. The last meters to the summit held on an Blockgrat, who went to go but also without crampons well. This time the runs, unfortunately not so beautiful: The snow was already harschig and sometimes even difficult to drive. Nevertheless, it was a successful conclusion, especially because the weather was so good. On the descent from the hut had to let the ski run and just dodge the pedestrians and lugers. Finally we stopped at the last patch of snow 50 meters in front of the car - if that was not made to measure it!
