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.
