As of yesterday when Franz did another 3-summit-tour he has gained more than 1.000 activator points in the SOTA-program. Congratulations to the new “mountain goat status”!

As Franz has activated 4 summits with 10 points each last weekend we decided to do so again and activated 4 summits together today in the border area of Salzburg and Tirol.

Today it finally became a very hot day but early in the morning and above 2.200 meters ASL it was quite cold. Abt. 10 degrees centigrade -at the beginning without sun and quite strong winds- not really comfortable.

Our first triple-summit activation without snowshoes or by ski this season was very successful. This tour included two 8-point-summits and one 6-point-summit on the way down. It`s a very nice area around Wildseeloder OE/TI-416, Henne TI-641 and Lärchfilzkogel TI-662.

Today I was able to activate the next two summits with the new SOTA-gear – for me first time activations. OE/SB-173 Schwalbenwand and OE/SB-331 Pointnerberg were our goals for today.

WX today was extremely hot but we decided to walk a “little” summit called Kienalkopf, where I tested my improved gear (KX3 and Buddipole Dipole)…
