Who was Hans Dülfer?

Hans Dülfer was a German mountain climber.

Dülfer started studying medicine from 1911 in Munich, and then changed to law and later to philosophy. The proximity of the Alps enticed him to make 50 first ascents, particularly the Kaisergebirge and in the Rosengarten in the Dolomites.

1911 Dülfer-Kamin am Totenkirchl

1912 Fleischbank-Ostwand

1913 Dülfer-Riss der Fleischbank

Dülfer developed several early climbing techniques, such as the Dulfersitz rappel, a basic emergency abseil skill.

He died in World War I.
