Last autumn we reported about it, now the video is online: Hansjörg Auer and Much Mayr establishing only the second route up the legendary Kastenwand rock face in Austria's Stubai Alps. As is clear from the clip, filmed from a drone, the rock is extremely loose and Auer told us "Technically it was not very hard, but mentally super challenging to open the pitches and to climb into the unknown. Falling was not an option."
