Mont Blanc – Mont Maudit

Traverse from Tête Rousse over the Bosses ridge, down over the 3 Monts, with traverse of Mont Maudit. With Oli. More exhausting than thought… check out Oli’s pics (my battery died after these pics) Continue reading ‘Mont Blanc – Mont Maudit’

Brienzergrat

20090901_29I decided against listing all the peaks reached that day in the title since there were a lot: Brienzer Rothorn, Schongütsch, Briefenhorn, Balmi, Tannhorn (aka “the crux”), Ällgäuhorn, Schnierenhörnli (also done as a ski tour in winter), Gummhorn (aka “the hot hell”), Blasenhubel, Augstmatthorn (aka “back in civilization”), Suggiture and Harder (citing someone from hikr.org: “you’ve got to try harder to reach harder” – true, true…). Not enough water, bloody hot weather, quick descent to Interlaken (max speed -34 hm/min, hehe) but all in all in a very acceptable time (9h with about 2.5 hours of breaks – although we almost got left behind by a 84 years-old!) as always when one is en route with Beni! Thanks for the company! Continue reading ‘Brienzergrat’

20090828_41Great weather, perfect conditions, nice & warm, a bivouac under the milky way, good company (even for a first timer, hehe), good views, a 4000m peak and just all around good, good, good – what more could i ask for? Continue reading ‘Lagginhorn’

Capanna Buffalora: Sunrise on Passo Buffalora & Hauling Stuff

20090709_21

Next day: Getting up (bloody cold in that small hut, brrr…), sunrise, hanging around and helping out a bit, then descent back down, drove Mirjam to Bellinzona, shopping and hauling the quite heavy sack back up to the Buffalora hut, shower, sleep… Continue reading ‘Capanna Buffalora: Sunrise on Passo Buffalora & Hauling Stuff’

Schmelihore – Hohniese (bivvy) – Abendmatte

20090404_25Wouldn’t have thought that it’s gonna pan out this winter, but hey, it did – it really did. Sunshine, steep ascents and steep descents, a cool snowhole, an “interesting” night, what a sunrise!, sunbaths and just about everything. It’s been a great weekend, from the Himalayan like ridge of the Schmelihore, to the afternoon nap on the NW-ridge of the Hohniese, to Timo’s snowboard-snow-melting invention on the Hohniese, Beni’s rebirth as a “miner”, the couscous, the porridge and baking in the sun (and burned skin, well…) Definitly a highlight! – some of the shots by Timo Continue reading ‘Schmelihore – Hohniese (bivvy) – Abendmatte’
