Today was finally the day. The weather reports were favorable and the hike I had been looking forward to for weeks, no, even months, could finally take place. With a carefully packed backpack, I got out of the car at the Ullach parking lot and waited for the mountain guide who would accompany me for the next 2 days. Shortly after, a van with the inscription 'Alpinskischule' parked right next to my car and someone rolled down the window. "Vincent?" - I nodded. "Markus?" - the person nodded back. He got out and introduced himself. "What is the plan for today?" Markus asked. "Passauer Hütte" I replied. "Yes, sure... but hiking or also climbing?" I quickly replied "hiking, just hiking" and I could barely hide a suppressed smile.
