02 March 2010 Alpine Guides from Austria Albert Leichtfried and Benni Purner were again in action after Moonwalk and Centercourt so on February 10 carried out the first ascent of a nice mixed (even if mostly on ice) route in Zillertal. The route is located near the famous Nosferatu in a granite wall near the village of Ginzling, in the Zemmtal (a small valley of the main valley Zillertal). The duo protected the route with pegs and bolts, then 5 days later returned for the redpoint. Gorillas im nebel 120m M10/WI6 Pitch 0 WI3/10m. Pitch1: M8 +, 40m, 5 bolts and 3 pegs.
