Mark & I wandered up to 204 to pick up our kits, & met up with Mike C, Mike TA, Dunks.
Stomped over the Hinter & went down to 161d, pausing to place a lovely blue polyprop handline off a _very_ iffy bolt. The plan now was to stomp down to the Stogerweg & go back to the Bergrestaurant. However, we instead found a nice grassy traverse level, at ~1600m altitude. Met some random Austrian walkers & tried to follow them, hoping they knew a nice way off the hill. Unfortunately, it turned out they were hoping we knew a nice way off the hill. 3 hours bunde bashing later, we had found a _nasty_ way off the hill. Part of this was on a _heavily_ engineered route. Thilo claims responsibility for this.
