@olson Yes, almost to this day 20 years ago, back in 2003.
I can still remember the dash that the various seilschaften did, in order to be the first to ascend via the coulour to the Mittelkarjoch. This is a very steep couloir with a high risk of rockfall, so normally only one seilschaft would be in the couloir at any given time. The first one to arrive has a significant advantage, as the other will have longer wait times.
This was the first tour that I organised for/with friends. We have been done that every 2 years ever since.
