Hoher Göll
The Hoher Göll is a mountain in the Berchtesgaden Alps. It is the highest peak of the Göll massif, which straddles the border between the German state of Bavaria and the Austrian state of Salzburg. Geography On the Bavarian west side of the Hoher Göll massif, the Königssee separates it from the Watzmann, another peak in the Berchtesgaden Alps. The Königssee drains northward into the Königsseer Ache, through the Bavarian towns of Obersalzberg to the north of the Hoher Göll and Berchtesgaden to the northwest, before merging into the Berchtesgadener Ache and then the Salzach river through Salzburg farther to the north. On the Austrian east side of the massif lies the valley of the Salzach itself, flowing from south to north and merging with the west-flowing Lammer at the base of the massif, in Golling an der Salzach. A lower line of hills, to the south of the massif, lies along the German-Austrian border separating the Königssee from the Salzach. Within the massif, Ho ...

Hohes Brett
The Hohes Brett is a mountain, above sea level according to the Normalhöhennull, German system or according to the Metres above the Adriatic, Austrian system, in the Göll massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Salzburg (state), Salzburg) runs across its peak. Its name, meaning "High Plank" in German language, German, refers to the flat, rocky plateau near the summit which offers panoramic views of the surrounding areas including the Watzmann's east face, the Hagen Mountains and the Steinernes Meer. For a mountain of its height it is easy to scale and thus sees a lot of visitors. Geography The Hohes Brett is located near the southwestern end of the Göll massif. To its south lies the Torrener Joch (), the saddle that separates the Göll massif from the Hagen Mountains. To the southwest, the Jenner (mountain), Jenner stands separate from the main massif.

Alexander Huber
Alexander Huber (born 30 December 1968), is a German rock climber and mountaineer. He became a professional climber in 1997, and was widely regarded as the world's strongest climber in the late-1990s, and is an important figure in rock climbing history. Huber has set records in several different rock climbing disciplines, including extreme free solos, new hardest sport climbing routes, and bold first free ascents in big wall climbing.

Sport Climbing
Sport climbing (or Bolted climbing) is a form of rock climbing that relies on permanent anchors (or bolts), permanently fixed into the rock for climber protection, in which a rope that is attached to the climber is clipped into the anchors to arrest a fall; it can also involve climbing short distances with a crash pad underneath as protection. This is in contrast to traditional climbing where climbers must place removable protection as they climb. Sport climbing usually involves lead climbing and toproping techniques, but free solo and deep-water solo (i.e. no protection) climbing on sport routes is also sometimes possible. Since sport climbing routes do not need to follow traditional climbing route lines where protection can be placed into natural features (e.g. cracks), they tend to follow more direct lines up crags. This aspect, in addition to the lack of any need to install protection during the climb (e.g. the sport climber just clips into pre-installed bolts along t ...

Mountain Hut
A mountain hut is a building located high in the mountains, generally accessible only by foot, intended to provide food and shelter to mountaineers, climbers and hikers. Mountain huts are usually operated by an Alpine Club or some organization dedicated to hiking or mountain recreation. They are known by many names, including alpine hut, mountain shelter, mountain refuge, mountain lodge, and mountain hostel. It may also be called a refuge hut, although these occur in lowland areas (e.g. lowland forests) too. Mountain huts can provide a range of services, starting with shelter and simple sleeping berths. Some, particularly in remote areas, are not staffed, but others have staff which prepare meals and drinks and can provide other services, including providing lectures and selling clothing and small items. Mountain huts usually allow anybody to access their facilities, although some require reservations. While shelters have long existed in mountains, modern hut systems date bac ...

Klettersteig
A via ferrata (Italian for "iron path", plural ''vie ferrate'' or in English ''via ferratas'') is a protected climbing route found in the Alps and certain other locations. The term "via ferrata" is used in most countries and languages except notably in German-speaking regions, which use ''Klettersteig''—"climbing path" (plural ''Klettersteige''). Infrastructure A via ferrata is a climbing route that employs steel cables, rungs or ladders, fixed to the rock to which the climbers affix a harness with two leashes, which allows the climbers to secure themselves to the metal fixture and limit any fall. The cable and other fixtures, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps, and ladders and bridges, provide both footings and handholds, as well. This allows climbing on otherwise dangerous routes without the risks of unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for technical climbing equipment. They expand the opportunities for accessing difficult peaks as an alternative ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
