Last year Ben Ditto and I took a trip to Bavaria in search of the Locker vom Hocker and the legacy that Kurt Albert and Wolfgang Gullich left behind. Here's a little story about it.

Exciting and fun read, Katie. TFPU!

I did some searching for the Locker vom Hocker and found your video - https://vimeo.com/235594209

Some very beautiful (and also crap) rock!

Also read it was free soloed by Hansjörg Auer. Glad you two didn't try that!

Thank you for posting this & the"Birds Perspective" video is also a great share. Everything from the sounds and vision that yoo share is so so cool.
Climbing Is A long -term Game, that somehow it always comes down to one moment. . . Some times you Stick it . . . Some times you don't . . . But either way , you walk away with a life full of possibilities . .

Whoa...the video is great!!

Check out that good ol' High Exposure calendar! It has the smoking duck on the cover!

Snoring and "other" sounds in the European huts...full conditions!

Ben...I think your mom would want you to wear a helmet on especially routes with "character" ("you mean shitty"...hilarious!).

Good stuff!

Leaving some unfinished business behind at the Schlierwasserfal we jumped on our one and only opportunity to finally get into the Alps. We would have to nail it perfectly to pull it off, but we were going for it, because darn it, we were following in the footsteps of legends.


loved the trip report, thanks Katie
