Grohmannspitze: Earlier, I was teasing Michael because he went right past 2 shiny bolts without noticing them. When I came to this belay stand I was disparately looking for anchors and didn't see anything except 2 very rusty old pitons. When Michael came up he pointed out this new bolt that i hadn't seen.

Grohmannspitze: On the awful descend down climbing over icy and sketchy parts after a bunch of rappels. We reached the pass between Grohmannspitze and Fünffingerspitze just before nightfall. Then we descended in the dark down terrible scree.
