3 days weekends are rare. Thanks to the German unity day ;-) Planned was a hiking trip with some friends in Oberstdorf. 1st day ascend to "fiderepass Hütte". 2nd day the fixed rope route "Mindelheimer Klettersteig" and the 3rd day back to the valley.
So I started together with Wiebke and Achim on Friday with rain. around 1200m attitude the rain changed to snow. When arriving at "fiderepass Hütte" (2067m) a small mountain shelter we walked in knee deep snow.

The Next morning was Grey. 50m view and more snow (around 60cm). The fixed rope route was already canceled. We discussed the alternative route. But even this one was to risky. So we spend the day inhouse with reading, playing card and eating ;-)
Sunday was supposed to be a nice day. And it was! green valleys, snowy mountains and blue, clear sky! Walking 3 peaks (Kanzelwand, Fellhorn and Söllerkopf) in knee deep powder snow.
