Becka, Andrew, Sioned
Walk over Grimming from Niederstuttern via Grimminghutte, Multerek + Grimmingsgipfel+ending at Kulm
Left my bike at Kulm then drove to Neiderstuttern (this is definitely the better route for
the bike->car shuttle as all downhill!). Set off 8:45 but already hot + near heat stroke on the
initial ascent. I had 3l water which wouldn't have been enough except there's an excellent
spring some way above the Grimminghutte where we refilled. Q a few wires + metal foot poles so
like an unprotected via ferrata on ascent + decsent + may be problems with snow earlier in year
or in a high-snow year. Descent down deep ridges + narrow stony gullies in a fairly improbable
manner - impressive there's a route over at all. A very fine day out though sadly Julian didn't
get to hang-glide over us though we collected him from his field in Bad Mittendorf.
T/U: 0hrs, 7½hrs walking

Nat, Ash & Elliott
After day of topcamp fettling we set off to Balcony to rig the entrance shaft, after
initially intending to do only a carry. We reflected en-route, so as to be able to find out way
back, arriving ~ 8pm. I rigged the first few rebelays, not really understanding what the bolts
wanted me to do. Elliott took over & we eventually got to the bottom with some bodge. Due to a
lack of inspiration we headed back out & back to top camp, getting there ~midnight.
T/U: ~3 hours

Nat, Ash
Feeling Keen we set off to rig Tunnocks entrance shaft, optimistically we took ropes /hangers
to get to the bottom of ducks on ice. Burdened by 2 bags & equipped with me skyhook I set off;
several exciting swings & wall destruction (by skyhook) complete saw Ash & I in sight of the
bottom ice/snow plug; after a final swing & lunge to gain a skyhook placement I put a bolt in
T/U: 4?? hours
