This has to be one of the finest adventure tours I did in October last year, and, I’m sure it’s going to turn into a modern biking/hiking classic. Guess it’s only right that Garmisch local, Fabi, was in there on the first descent. Okay, some of the really steep steps on the upper section he walked, but pretty much most of it he rode. This pic was taken on an awesome  rock slab about 100m vertical below the summit at about 6pm in the evening. Head torches had just been put on since we were about to hit darkness in about half an hour or so.  In fact, pretty much all of the second half of the trail we rode in darkness with lighting provided by the superb Lupine Betty’s. I published a couple of pics from this day already, and this one is also a favorite. It’s taken with a Nikon D700 &  Nikkor 14-24mm, and, even though I did have the flashes setup here, I chose to switch them off for this shot. Glad I did because I much prefer the silhouette version.
