The via ferrata season starts earlier than usual in Austria, and everyone who is out and about on the rocks knows and appreciates the work of Axel and Andreas. 

Mountain sports enthusiasts are familiar with the topographical overview maps, the "topos", which can be found on almost all via ferrata routes. Behind them are the Tyrolean Axel Jentzsch-Rabl and the Viennese Andreas Jentzsch; Austria's via ferrata twins.
