"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

From PolinikCame late on the parking place at Ploecken Haus (10:00), ascended Polinik quickly and realised I might have time also for Creta di Timau. From Obere Spielboden Alm followed the marked path towards Koderkopf, but where it goes more steeply up towards the ridge I wanted to find an unmarked path which should cross the slopes towards Blaustein. Couldn't find it, but somehow succeeded to come into ravine below Blaustein. Then by a very rugged terrain directly up towards Blaustein and over towards the marked path No. 402. By it to the top. For a descent I still needed another 3 hours, so I came back just with the night, at 19:00, having in my legs more than 1900m of altitude difference.
