STYLE:
- self-supported (we had no one supporting or meeting us during the entire attempt, we carried most of our nutrition right from the start and only went to a supermarket once half way through)
- team (we started and finished as a team of three and ran together the whole time)
ROUTE/ORDER
- Goldenes Dacherl (574m) > Hafelekarspitze (2334m) > Goldenes Dacherl (574m) > Patscherkofel (2246m) > Goldenes Dacherl (574m)
- Even though it’s a Trig Point route, we tried to follow the track of the original attempt as good as possible, some adjustment were made due to snow, trail maintenance, wrong turns and water access
