Alps Mountaineer in Extreme Peril: Key Details about the Elusive "Steppenwolf"
Missing Mountaineer Kai Mosbacher in Carinthian Alps
A 62-year-old mountaineer named Kai Mosbacher from Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been missing in the Carinthian Alps since September 8. The disappearance was reported by an acquaintance to the mountain rescue service.
Kai Mosbacher, a peak collector with over 5500 summits under his belt, including 40 four-thousanders and 16 six-thousanders climbed without accompaniment, has been the subject of a search and rescue operation in the Ankogel area. The last sign of life was at 5:00 p.m. on September 8 from the mountain Schwarzkopf, where Mosbacher was allegedly located at an altitude of 3174 meters.
Mosbacher, described as having longer brown hair and a striking appearance, is also known for his comparison of himself to the 'Steppenwolf' by Hermann Hesse in an interview. He stands at 1.90 meters tall and has a very slim build.
The search for Mosbacher's whereabouts continues, but its continuation is not clear. The police in Carinthia are conducting the search, with the local mountain rescue service maintaining contact. Mosbacher is reportedly an experienced mountaineer, as described in a 2024 report by the German Alpine Club (DAV).
However, Mosbacher's ADHD affects his contact and communication on peaks, which may have contributed to his disappearance.
