The student set off for a twelve-hour hike on Schneeberg at 7.00 am, wearing only tennis shoes, jogging pants, a T-shirt, a jacket, and no gloves. According to his own statement, he followed a path on Google Maps, a spokesperson for the ÖAMTC reported.

The Chinese man managed to get just below the plateau near the Fischerhütte despite his inadequate equipment. On a snow cornice in the dark and at minus five degrees, there was finally no way forward or back for the young man. At 7.30 pm, he made an emergency call. The rescue helicopter was finally able to locate the Chinese man and land nearby. The student was flown to the hospital with hypothermia and bloody ankles.
