Hiking to the beautiful Habicht with the gorgeous view from the amazing summit. Please familiarize yourself with the route (here as well as various descriptions on the Web, e.g., http://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/bergtour/stubaier-alpen/habicht-von-obertal-gschnitz-ueber-innsbrucker-huette/11664885 , or http://www.bergfex.at/sommer/tirol/touren/wanderung/1365680,gschnitz--habicht , or http://www.bergsteigen.com/touren/klettersteig/habicht-steig ) before joining.

Necessary:

• ankle-covering hiking boots,
• plenty of water (the exact amount depends on your weight; I recommend ⩾ 4 L).

Optional: climbing gloves, helmet, hiking poles, head lamp, food, and, for beginners, the rest of the via-ferrata gear (harness, set, and rest loop). In the cold season and depending on the weather: warm clothes, crampons, and gaiters.

In case of rain, snow, hail, thunderstorm, or too few participants, the hike might be canceled, modified, or moved.

I plan to drive according to http://www.google.de/maps/dir/Fürstenrieder+Str.+249,+81377+München/Parkplatz+Feuerstein+Gschnitz,+Gschnitz+30,+6150+Gschnitz,+Österreich/@47.5730186,10.79446,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m19!4m18!1m5!1m1!1s0x479dd8ef7466ee2f:0xd3c28926f84e95a6!2m2!1d11.5028091!2d48.1129434!1m5!1m1!1s0x479d4f6a7582ccef:0xc7fbec5dd4518d93!2m2!1d11.33077!2d47.0279818!2m4!2b1!6e1!7e2!8j1694935800!3e0?entry=ttu (or a toll-free variant thereof) and pick up co-hikers along the way.  The price may vary slightly depending on the number of folks in the car and the parking fees.

Tidiness rules for the folks who get a ride with my car: (1) keep your dirty hiking gear (e.g., dirty boots and dirty hiking-pole tips) in bags of yours, (2) don't eat inside (pure water is o.k., and the driver may sip a caffeine drink), and if you are really hungry, ask the driver to stop and then eat outside, and (3) someday – and that day may never come – I will call upon you to help me cleaning the car with time or money. Other drivers may (or may not) have their own regulations concerning their cars.

If many folks show up, we build groups according to the vertical speed (e.g., ⩽ 300 m/h, ≈ 375 m/h, and ⩾ 450 m/h).

The tour is unguided; I'm not a guide. Every hiker acknowledges that he/she has fully read and understood the route description and would be able to hike it alone. He/she is fully responsible for himself/herself and hikes at his/her own risk.
