mammut 150 year anniversary tour - zugpsitze, germany
This past week I had the pleasure of being part of the Mammut 150 year anniversary tour held in Garmisch, Germany.
The goal of the week was to climb the infamous Jubilaumsgrat ridge line. This is an 8km long exposed ridge stretching from the Zugspitze, the highest point in Germany to the summit of the Alpspitze.
The itinerary starts by way of the Hollentalklamm and a 1st night at the Hollentalhutte. The next morning the route climbed up to the end of the valley and onto the start of the via ferrata over the Hollentalferner and then the final infinite string of iron cable to the summit of the Zugspitze at 2,962m. Our 2nd night was spent at the Munchner Haus at the summit.
The 3rd we awoke to poor weather as predicted and we reluctantly decided to head back down to our starting point, thus unable to accomplish the Jubilaumsgrat.
Despite this our group had a terrific time and did ascend the highest peak in Germany all by way of foot and back.
Congrats to all involved!
