Mountain climbers from Extremberg missing in the Alps

In the heart of the Austrian Alps, a search is underway for renowned extreme mountaineer Kai "Steppenwolf" Mosbacher. The Klagenfurt police department confirmed his disappearance, last reported on September 8 at 5 PM.

Mosbacher, known for his slim build and long brown hair, was last seen on the Schwarzkopf and Ankogel mountains. His last known destination was the Ali-Lanti Biwak, as noted in the hut book at the Hannoverhaus.

The Austrian Alpine Police, along with mountain rescue services, have been conducting extensive google searches in the Carinthia and Salzburg regions, including checks on glaciers. However, so far, these efforts have proven unsuccessful.

An acquaintance reported Mosbacher's disappearance, and the search has been ongoing. Despite the efforts made, no new leads have emerged, and the search has been temporarily suspended. The acquaintance is also appealing for help on Facebook, hoping to find any clues that might lead to Mosbacher's whereabouts.

Mosbacher, a member of the Deutsche Alpenverein (DAV), has climbed over 5500 peaks and aims to reach his 6000th next year. He is known for his dedication and determination, believing he will have climbed more mountains than any other brave DAV member.

Anyone with information about Mosbacher's whereabouts or any potential leads is encouraged to contact the local authorities. The search will resume once new leads are found.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story. Our thoughts are with Kai "Steppenwolf" Mosbacher and his loved ones during this challenging time.
