view from ascent to Kasereck across the Lessach valley to Somspitz (2414 m), in the shadow behind Roteck (2742 m) - Niedere Tauern Sep. 1997, scanned slide, Minolta X700

The third attempt in September 1997 to reach the summit. About one hour later we had to stop and go back. It was too late. - scanned slide

I tried to climb on this wonderful peak three times, and what a shame, I failed three times. The first time a heavy thunderstorm forced us to go back (East ridge), the second time we lost the route and it became too difficult (Southwest Wall) and the third time we were pretty high on the East Ridge, but it became late because we lost the way partly and again we had to go back. So I always have mixed feelings, looking at this mountain. This view shows the east side, seen from the Landschitz valley. Right of the Kasereck is the "Kaserscharte" (2315 m), which is a nice ski or snow glider tour in late spring.

Robert LeRoy Parker (April 13, 1866 – November 7, 1908), better known as Butch Cassidy, was an American train and bank robber and the leader of a gang of criminal outlaws known as the "Wild Bunch" in the Old West. Cassidy and "Sundance Kid" Longabaugh fled later to Argentina. They settled in a four-room log cabin on a 61 km² ranch that they purchased on the east bank of the Rio Blanco near Cholila, just east of the Andes in the Chubut. There we found this little Cafeteria, named after him, full of historical photographs. - scanned slide, Minolta X700 HFF and a sunny weekend to all!

So...finally. This is the last image of the stream about the 1986' journey through the USA. All images were scanned slides (Nikon Super Coolscan 5000), taken with a Minolta X700. I really thank you very much, all who travelled with me ;-) The album grew pretty big.
