I don’t feel as at home on a steep ice wall as I do on a rock face, but for my friends and budding mountain guides it was a welcome challenge to tackle this demanding day tour together: first skiing, then a 70 degree sheer ice slope with crampons and ice axes, and wrapping up with more skiing through very, very “firn snow” to Lucknerhaus in Kals. In the end, I can only say THANK YOU! Future guests of Thomas and Andi are in good hands!
