The highest summit in MF activated

The highest summit in MF - Rotwand was activated on Saturday, May 10, 2008. It was a quite nice afternoon walk from Spitzingsee to Rotwandhaus. I needed less than 2 hours to hike Rotwand, but I lost too much time for hiking Ruchenköpfe DL/MF-055 and Auerspitz DL/MF-056 because of the muddy snow still lying in the Alps. I really enjoyed climbing Ruchenköpfe (actually a neighbor rock requiring a climbing level of I-II) and aslo solitude and peace on the summit. There was an extremely small spot for operating (see pictures). The last summit – Auerspitz brought 8 points but no pleasure to stroll in the snow up to knees, on the way back to the Rotwandhaus I got my feet wet through.

All together 68 QSOs were done on 40m in CW, and 3x8 = 24 points were gained. Here are some pictures...

There was a very tight spot for operating!
