Everyone confirms that she has become an excellent mountaineer. In mystart, the two had at least in the experience that the two had. Ms. Dahlmeier had everything that is necessary to walk and complete the tour cleanly. I was very happy, the news is that the best climber from Husche, a very experienced man, is already on the go and tries to get up in mileage boots to save. Whether avalanche or stone chill has triggered the accident. It seems that a helicopter is ready to fly and a rescue would be possible at this height. But it shocked me very much that Ms. Dahlmeier, whom I naturally followed as a biathlete, and whom I know that she has become an excellent alpineist after her time as the top athlete that this happened. So the purple mountain is a very steep mountain, so difficult to climb. A normal alpinist has little chance. But there is a fright when he sees this summit. It is not a big mountain. He just leans on a larger mountain flank, but is difficult to climb on all sides if you want to go to the summit. It is mainly covered by ice, but some places are also rocky. That’s why rockfall is conceivable. But ice cream is also an option. And above all, avalanches are an option that are also very difficult to avoid. But in the case of an avalanche or rockfall, obviously on the descent, our opportunity to save us is of course relatively low. Because nature is so hard and so big and difficult that we humans always have to travel with a residual risk. When we venture into these dimensions of alpinism.
