8C FA by Berni Schwaiger again

Bernhard Schwaiger has done yet another FA in Saalachtal, Whirlwind 8C. The approach took one hour wading through knee dep snow together with his girlfriend and photographer, Christina Dalla-Bona. In total Berni has done five 8C and 13 8B+ First Ascents in Saalachtal making it one of the hard core Meccas in the world. Strangely, few top boulders have tried out the area. More amazing pics at Schwaigerbrothers.
