[Update: 04.07.2025, 13:00] Due to the current very bad public transport situation, we have decided to do a carpool instead for 5 people. I cannot change this in the event description now, so please do not join the hike and do not show up at the Munich HBF :-) Thanks for your understanding.

The weather looks great on Saturday, so I wish to climb Blankenstein a.k.a Plankenstein 😋💪

• This is NOT a T3 hike! ☠️
• The event is rated SAC T5 (URL: SAC difficulty levels) and requires UIAA II+/III scrambling skills (URL: UIAA climbing grades). Surefootedness and a head for heights are required for this event, especially in the highly exposed sections. Absolute beginners will be removed immediately!
• If you don't have true T5s and T6s in your HB profile with at least one UIAA I+/II climb, I reserve the right to remove you from the event without further notice. If you have the above-mentioned experience outside of Hiking Buddies, please contact me before joining. I am sorry for being so strict, but this is one mountain where people grossly underestimate the difficulty level and I am not an expert to handle absolute beginners
• I don't want to leave anyone behind, so the speed depends on the group. However, I expect you to be fit enough to do 13 km and 1100 m elevation gain within 6 hrs. This means about 400 m/h average elevation gain and 4-5 km/h on T1 and T2 surfaces
• If time permits, I wish to stop at the Blankensteinhütte after climbing for refreshments
• The link to the WhatsApp group will be posted in the comments section on Friday evening (04.07.2025). Please join the group to get the latest updates.
