In Memory of Cyrill Rüegger A note from the SP staff
Cyrill Rüegger, the member we all used to know as Cyrill and Digitalis, died on June 13th 2009 in an avalanche on the summit ridge of Piz Palü together with his wife Tanja and a common friend. They were swept down by the avalanche into a couloir underneath the east summit and died instantly. Their bodies were retrieved from the Palü Glacier by helicopter a day after the accident.
Cyrill joined SP in March 2006 and soon was one of the most prolific contributors on the site with almost 70 mountain and 5 range pages to his profile. He was an accomplished climber, bagging almost 1000 summits in not quite seven years. Among them are 35 4000ers and 272 3000ers, almost all of them in his home country Switzerland.
While contributing a lot on SP, Cyrill's real internet home was www.hikr.org where he contributed 585 mountain profiles and reports in his native language German. Cyrill also posted on www.bergsteigen.at and other climbing sites, often under his real name but also under the pseudonym Digitalis. He was a botanist by profession and also contributed his knowledge about medical plants to different websites. Cyrill will be greatly missed by all.
This page will be kept in honour of Cyrill, one of SP's most prolific members and most active mountaineers.
Rest in peace, brother!
The picture above was taken on the summit of Matterhorn on July 28th 2007.Piz Lischana 3105mThe Piz Lischana is a mountain in Switzerland, in the canton Grisons. Located in the north-east of the Lischana-Hut 2500m (Swiss Grid 821953/183944). And close-by the village Scoul in the Rhaetian Alps. The region there named Unterengadin, part of the canton Grisons in Switzerland. Piz Lischana is a popular mountain in summer as well as in spring with ski. With ski is essential to have a minimal avalanche risk.
To the south-east of the Piz Lischana you find "Vadret da Triazza", the last glacier in the area, which has suffered heavily from global warming. Like many other glaciers in the Rhaetian Alps it has shrunk a lot during the incredibly hot summer of 2003. The word Vadret is Rhaeto-Romanic and translates glacier
