08 Feb Ice – Brandnertal- Austria

 
The Brandnertal, in the region of Vorarlberg – West Austria,  is very well known and increasingly popular with ice climbers from many areas of the Alps 
 
The area is very attractive and there are routes of any level.
The Fluh, a great rocky bar armoured on ice  is the centerpiece of the place, both for ease of approach (30/40 minutes)and  for the quantity and quality of the icefalls.
 
Unfortunately on these days the conditions are not at top  and must also pay attention to the gigantic hanging “fangs”, but some icefalls  are climbable
 
Body Count and Haza, Beat Kammerlander’s  masterpieces on the wall opposite the village of Brand, are almost  fully formed, but you can come up with a pitch of  dry-tooling  at the beginning, as did the first ascenders 
 
Marilyn Manson is rather dry. Very little snow on the mountain, so you can reach quite easily the most remote routes  and climbing relatively safe.
