For the five hundredth first ascent by the Salzburg alpinist Albert Precht, his friend and author Herbert Gschwendtner, also from Salzburg, wrote a poem called "Klettertelegramm" which describes in telegraphic style climbs in the Hochkonig Tennen mountains in the summer of 1997. It was the director Wolfgang Hermann's idea to accompany the poem with scenes of climbing. The local dialect gives the text, which is in rhyme, a particular merry tone emphasised by the way the images match the verse.
