Another case of underestimated alpine mountaineering: two locals (both 26) set off on a challenging route on Saturday in Neustift in the Stubaital to the 3,474 meter high Ruderhofspitze. Because they were no longer able to cope with the terrain at 3,400 meters, they could no longer go any further. They also no longer saw themselves in a position to relegate.
At 3,400 meters on Saturday around 9.45 a.m. in Neustift in the Stubaital, two locals (both 26) realized that they could no longer go any further. But they didn’t see themselves as being able to cope with relegation either, so they couldn’t move forward or back. “They had underestimated the alpine high tour and were therefore poorly prepared and not adequately equipped,” said the police. Rescued by a police helicopter The two alpinists had no choice but to make an alpine emergency call. As a result, they were rescued by the police helicopter and taken to the valley.
