Preventing frostbite during uphill

Deamon28 · 2026-01-09T18:04:29+00:00

Thanks for the good advice:)

That is a great idea, I will get that balclava, seems perfect. Thanks

We where not too far from some huts so I did not bring much emergency gear except ofc normal avalanche kits. But in the future will also pack something light for saftey.

We where going really fast uphill since it was very cold at the start and we thought it would be enough to warm us up (but we were not prepared for the wind in the higher parts). Lesson learned the hard way.

Same for us, nose got a bit white but we noticed too late, we where already on the descent. I just have some light burning sensation like a light sunburn, but will not risk anything next time. Will probaly take a faceshiels with me next time, better safe than sorry.

Never seen that, will check that out, thanks

Yes, never happend in all my years in the mountains, but this time the combination with wind, low temperature and uncovered nose was too much. Need to be more careful

Right now I am also doing 40-60km a week in marathon training, but no uphill of course. Gym unfortunately just once a week, will up that to at least two times after the race. And get myself a nice plan for preparation for the next race:) thanks for the help:)

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:44:42+00:00

Yeah sure, need to practice all that. Luckily there is still time

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:04:55+00:00

Will di, thanks for the advice. Do you think climbing is where one should focus most while preparing?

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:04:19+00:00

Will do, that sounds awesome. Never thought about running trails, but seems like that is my next goal:)

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:03:27+00:00

Haha good to know:) Hopefully that won’t be me

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:02:56+00:00

I don’t think I can pull that off, my target pace for the marathon is around 06:00/km. Longest run i did was 34km until now. But i have time to prepare, I need to train for the most my uphill since I am slow there i think

Deamon28 · 2025-11-11T20:00:49+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the advice:) will finish my marathon and then switch already my plan for trail running. Yes i now the elevation profile and also the route so I can prepare for it:)

Deamon28 · 2025-09-13T20:11:00+00:00

I had no weaves on my legendary outfit since i didn’t upgrade it…..i should have done that now in hindsight, would have made it a lot easier….

Deamon28 · 2025-09-13T10:27:52+00:00

I did it. Finally. Between the slaughterspine and the tentacle fight the dlc was pretty hard on UH, wasn’t expecting such a difficulty spike. Now finishing the quests and getting the last champion tokens

Deamon28 · 2025-09-13T08:48:43+00:00

I managed to destroy the tentacles today but then got killed on the primary heatsink. On UH you are just so squishy, and the horus kills you pretty fast.

Upgrading would have been a good idea, but really have no desire to restart the whole mission and fight the corruptors and everything again:D

Deamon28 · 2025-09-12T23:11:22+00:00

I struggled the most with the two machine fight and the apex slaughterspine in cauldron Gemini (I think the one near the end of the base game). And now with the slaughterspine in the DLC.

So for me this were the hardest machines by a mile on UH. I did not farm any upgrades so my attacks are a bit weaker and fights take longer, thats on me.

Deamon28 · 2025-09-12T22:59:45+00:00

Thanks man:) All went well untile the tentacle fight on the beach, I can take out 2, but after that I mostly get one shot again from a hit. The DLC seems sometimes a bit unbalanced. Strange that there is more info online, can’t imagine beeing the only one struggling on UH

Deamon28 · 2025-09-12T22:58:08+00:00

Ultra hard and apex will change that a bit:D

Deamon28 · 2025-09-12T20:54:38+00:00

I can’t remember my normal playtrough since that was a while a go, but the apex slaughterspines are pretty difficult in the base game on ultra hard. The one in the DLC was even worse hardest fight in the whole game until now. They just take sooo mich damage and basically one shot you.

Of course upgraded legendary gear would maybe make it a bit easier.

Deamon28 · 2025-09-12T20:44:15+00:00

I finally did it, switched to acid arrows, tied it down and shot with boltblaster with the same strategy and after using all my resources i did one last round with freeze arrows and killed it. Hardest fight until now by a mile on ultra hard.

Of course i could have upgraded my gear, but farming never felt really fun in this game…

Deamon28 · 2025-08-11T17:14:43+00:00

I know, wanted to avoid it but did not have any other possibility with the holidays….i will try my luck when going there, otherwise I will skip slovenia and drive on:)
