First ascent of the north face of the Zugspitze
"From the starting point at Eibsee to the summit, it's almost exactly 2000 metres in altitude." - Fritz Miller | LOWA ACTIVE Team
The "Direct North Face" is a difficult and bold winter climbing route that combines elements of winter mountaineering, modern mixed climbing and big wall climbing. A perfect challenge for the two athletes, because despite the idea of a direttissima, the route is always intuitive and utilises the weak points of the respective wall areas. In the area of the "Seilbahnquergang" and the wall step above it, the route runs together with a line that was climbed by Jörg Pflugmacher and Peter Anzenberger in December 2004.
AFTER THREE DAYS, IT FINALLY STARTS ..
After Fritz and Michaela had completed their preparatory work on 21, 22 and 25 November, they finally got started on 28 November. The technical part of the climb has a climbing length of 1150 metres. The difficulties are in the M6, 5+ and A3 range. On the first day, the two climbed four pitches and then bivouacked in a small cave 20 metres to the left above the start. On the second day, they finally got going. The athletes climbed to the summit. On the second day, the athletes succeeded and climbed to the summit.
They finally reached the summit and bivouacked with a magnificent panoramic view the next day.
