In complete darkness, our team gets underway at the crack of dawn. The ground beneath our feet has become slippery due to the constant drizzle; though the higher we go, the more the rain relents. It remains hazy, however – wafts of mist cover the hillsides. At 1pm, we get there, after eight hours of climbing – we reach the summit. The descent is, by comparison, child’s play.
We are particularly chuffed to meet up with some old colleagues – a few KYOCERA employees, who we already had the pleasure of meeting last year, have also travelled to Zugspitze in Garmisch-Partenkirchen today. Our farewell to them and to our successful day is celebrated together with a typical Bavarian isotonic drink. It’s called “ Hefeweizen ” in these parts!
