In the end of March\u00a0I had another of these short weekend trips with Teppo. This time we went for the climbing\u00a0near Munich.<\/p>\n

We hoped that the conditions would have been good in Wetterstein (plan A) or R\u00e4tikon (plan B) but there was loads of snow making the approaches long and heavy. In stead, we took the plan C and went for the climbing on Martinswand near Innsbruck. Martinswand\u00a0is situated\u00a0in\u00a0an altitude of\u00a01000 meters\u00a0and\u00a0has an approach of 10 minutes.\u00a0The\u00a0altitude\u00a0was 1000 meters less and the approach 1 hour less than the other alternatives which was rather nice.<\/p>\n

For the first day the weather forecast was so-so. The forecast said some rain\u00a0was likely in the afternoon. Judging the conditions we decided on climbing something easier but with good mileage to get tuned in. An alpine start at sunrise was supposed to get us to the top before the rain.<\/p>\n
