Both winter GI teams are in C1, hoping to reach the top on Thursday. Weather forecasts are somber though: temperatures dropped down to -43ºC and the wind blew stronger than forecasted today. Although relatively milder winds (40-50km/h) are expected on summit day, they'll pick again while climbers are on descent. It seems far from a perfect summit window, but the climbers may have no other. As the Poles explained, further hurricanes are expected to hit the mountain next week!!!
This is not a climb for sissies. http://www.gerfriedgoeschl.at
