Sunset at Planura Hut at 18:30
Today was a great sunny day and tonight I am the only person here at 2944m in the Planura hut! I did some photography, but without clouds most shots are rather uninteresting! Then I did a mistake and my camera fell from 30cm on some stones! The glass of the filter broke to pieces, but otherwise the rest seems to be OK! Only a very little scratch on my 70-200mm lens!
The guy from Finland was very interesting. He slept on a hanging mattress in a forest! Nice idea! Today i wore no T-Shirt, though it was only 10 degrees warm! I think they are used to colder temperatures in Heldinki! ;-)
Then I photographed helicopters! One of them had a longer break at Planura hut and I had a longer conversation with the pilot: you need 30.000EUR and 1year to get the licence! And you can reach 1000km with one load of fuel! 800EUR would it cost you as a tourist for one hour flying! Some years ago i had a nice deal with one pilot: I had a free flight with him around T�di and I paid him with high-quality pictures of his helicopter! ;-)
I am still thinking about which route to descend! Maybe I hike via Fridolinshut as I am not sure on the snow condition at Isw�ndli! I cannot see any traces of other people and that makes it difficult being the first on a snowy ridge! So maybe I go for the easier descent! ;-) I really expected some people here that already prepared the rote with their footsteps! It makes things so much easier! Also with respect to possible crevasses..
I am currently deeply impressed by the smooth light. The sun just disappeared! No clouds at all! I will go to bed soon and read some books! It will be a very cold and quite night, as the room is not heated! But with my warm sleeping bag it should work very well! ;-)
So will get up esrly tomorrow for photography and then decide which route to take! Easiest would be via Fridolin-Hut and I am likely to go for that route!
Good night! ;-)
