In Memoriam Of Our Fellow Mountaineers Who Died In An Accident

Summit cross on the Great Ox Wall (2,700 m) in the Kalkkögel (Tyrol, Austria). In light of the extensive tourist accessibility of the Alps, it is often forgotten: The mountains are not a playground!

Für dieses Bild hätte ich lieber eine RAW-Datei gehabt. Denn ohne Farbabrisse war die Endbearbeitung der jpg-Aufnahme leider nicht machbar. Weil dies dem Himmel eine zusätzliche Dramatik einhaucht, bin ich jedoch in Frieden damit.

Das Bild entstand übrigens mittags um 13:24 Uhr.

But he is safeguarded with a double short rope on the mountain wall.

No, it was not what I meant, I know YOU were safeguarded, as I did practice mountain climbing... I know the gear.
I meant the christ did not protect those who died, in my country we say that he did not put his (divine?) hand underneath to avoid those climbers to fall.

We do not know this saying. But it could also be that only I don't know it because I don't believe in such things.

Neither do I.
In reality it is derision humor. It means that only fools thrust a god to protect them from their lack of prudence or bad luck...
