Holding on for dear life? Nah, just a tired scrambler descending an easier bit on the Hohe Geige normal route.

It's not only the physical exertion, but also the mental strain of having to cross a couple of dangerously steep snowfields, where one moment of distraction can be fatal. By now, the terrain is easier and it's less steep, both on the trail as the slopes besides it, so a slip wouldn't mean a big fall anymore. 29 June 2012.
