Procedure

Briefing
Briefing: 6. June 2015 – 05:30 - Hundsviertelhöhle (Krampen, 8692 Styria)
Start: 6. June 2015 – 06:00 - Hundsviertelhöhle (Krampen, 8692 Styria)

Official Cut-Off: 6. June 19:00 (Fischerhütte, Schneeberg)
Fischerhütte is also where your time is taken. The last bit of the route will be covered together in a neutralized manner.  If you can’t make it there till 7pm you can provide a gps track (including distance, altitude and time information) from your watch that proves that you did the whole route.

Transport
Since there is no entry-fee there won’t be an official transport-service. Nevertheless we try to coordinate a lift from Vienna to Krampen and Losenheim to Vienna if there is the need. Then of course the fee must be covered by the people that use the Transport.

Route
Krampen-Schneealpe-Rax-Schneeberg-Losenheim
The current route is around 60k with 5100m of ascent. This might change due to conditions and the winters impact.
