08/14/2012 the ascent and ski descent made by:
Noel Richmond Hanna,
Adam Paul Leeb,
Eberhard AAlfred Lange.
From 16 people in the group, only eight made it to the summit! According to witnesses, who on the same day was on the mountain, at the top you can just lie! Wind is not even allowed to walk on all fours!
This is a very good result, because the weather is nasty, snowing with rain and terrible wind. And the forecast is until bleak!
