23 Feb Austria Icefalls – Pinnistal

 
The Pinnistal is a lateral of  Stubaital, a wide valley on the northern side of the Alps not far from Innsbruck and easily accessible from the Brenner Pass. This year the icefalls on the front of the rocky ramparts of Pinnisalm  were formed in an optimal way.
Until the middle of February were all in perfect condition including the large free-standing called Kerze. For the record, a true marathon was completed by the Austrian Alpine Guides Albert Leichtfried and Benni Purner that in about 6 hours have climbed nearly all the icefalls of the wall:
