A helicopter flew over. It looked like it was trying to land at the Hornlihutte, but the wind was making things tricky. It carefully closed in on the Hutte before giving up and flying in a big circle to line up for another try. It did this maybe three or four times before appearing to give up and fly away. Hopefully there wasn’t someone up there awaiting emergency evacuation.
A couple of hikers ahead of me, who were much better equipped than I was, stopped for discussion after crossing a particularly tricky patch of snow and ice. After a minute or so they decided to turn around and head back down. That was good enough for me. If they thought the conditions were too challenging with all the kit they were packing, the conditions were definitely too challenging for me. I turned back too.
