150312 Grauen Stein
neill, 19:32h
My fourth trip this winter to the Grauen Stein. We have a relay mast up there and wanted to do some upgrades.
The expedition was perfectly planned so we caught the early morning cable car up the mountain with the employees. From there we and our equipment were transported by Skidoo to the end of the valley and then we used our touring skis to ski up to the summit of the mountain.
At 08:40 we were at a height of 1733 meters and looking down on the world as the sun slowly filled the valleys.
About four hours later we were finished with our work and glad too get out of the wind which, despite the sun, was keeping us cool. We loaded up our rucsacs and the generator that was still up there from Christmas ( http://neill.blogger.de/stories/2463609/ ). With all that on our backs we skied back down in to the valley and waited for our "taxi".
It's a tough life but some one has to do it :-)
