Arno, is a friend, fellow Brexit escapee and Scottish winter climber (http://graniteandice.blogspot.de/2011_12_01_archive.html) who has also made it to Munich late in 2016. On the 18th of December 2016 we were looking for North face adventures and drove towards the Allgaeu, an area South West of Munich. There was some snow on the mountains...
... but the approach to our "Nordwand" was dry...
... and our face had minimal amounts of snow. So we carried on...
... and reached pitiful amounts of snow/neve higher up towards the Nebelhorn.
We did a wee neve plod...
... at times a little exposed...
... and then a scramble without unpacking our ropes...
... to reach a top of the Nebelhorn, a mountain nearby with a ski hut on top. On the way down we saw a few chamois...
... and had a look back at our peak and sort of line.
Ach well, at least a start and also the news from bonny Scotland tell us that the Scottish winter is also too dry and warm for proper climbing. So no need for FOMO!
