Across the Dufourspitze

With this Album i like to give you a view of the traverse of the Dufourspitze i have made om 9 july 2006. We start at Punta Gniffeti in the Reg. Margheritahut, first to the Zumsteinspitze, from there down to the SE ridge of the Dufourspitze, up to the summit and then down to the Monte Rose hut over the Monte Rosa hut. The SE ridge is at some places 2/3 UIAA rock, the W-ridge down 2. A great way to climb the Dufourspitze.

I had to abandon this tour in 2000 due to bad weather (didn�t see a thing from the Margherita hut). Looking at your pictures makes you feel you were there. Thanks for posting them.

Between Zumstin and dufour there is a (what i call scary;) very narrow snowridge were you have to be very carefull, but if you have pass it its a very nice climb up, just a part 3 UIAA on top off the ridge just under the summit. From the sattel its 2 UIAA. If you like to climb the dufour i can recommend you to do the across from Ref. Reg. Margharita and down to Zermatt. I climbed Dufour before from the Monte rosa hutte op and the same way back but thats a long one, the across is very interresting and you climb Zumstein also, thats two 4000ers in one day ;) Greets!
