"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Bortelhorn: Daytrip from BerneForgot to sign this one. I really can recommend the Bortelhorn. A very nice climb with all kinds of terrain (rock, snow and ice). The rock on the ridge isn't too bad. Stunning views towards Italy and the Bernese Alps guaranteed!

Ski trip in foggy weatherThere were some clouds in the morning, but unfortunalty after 10 AM all the peaks were wrapped in clouds.
Long, interesting and very nice ski trip in a wild environment.
From Berisal some portage till the river, then we mounted direclty on the waterfall (covered by snow) but the stepest part made us brin the ski on the shoulders.
The ridge is not complicate, but long and very exposed. Be carefull.
Very nice, aside the weather.
Solo in 5 hours from Berisal
