| We start at 2.00 hours at Arolla in the night. We go up and everything goes ok. 400 hm from the summet we have to get back for bad weather coming in. When we leave the hut on the way back the thunder starts. No summit... | |

| Skied up to the summit as part of the classic Haute Route 6-day itinerary. You reach this on the second to last day before arriving Zermatt. | |

| Great view from the summit, although we couldn't stay longer than about 5 minutes due to severe wind and a temperature already below the freezing point. We rested a bit lower on the way back to Cabane des Dix and had a great view on the Dent Blanch and Matterhorn. The climb itself was doable, but sometimes the slopes climbed were rather steep. | ||

| Climbed as part of the Chamonix-Zermatt haute route (cabane des Dix to cabane des Vignettes). I have no idea about the view - we reached the summit in near zero visibility (but our guide and the GPS told us we reached the summit :-) | |

| This was one of the trips of the section Tuttlingen of the DAV (German Alpine Club). We had planned to trespass Pigne d'Arolla and Mont Blanc de Cheilon, but after the Pigne d'Arolla the weather turns bad (as every day in summer 2002 .... grrrrrr) and we have to abort the tour. | |

| A great morning out with Bruce! We tramped up the 1800m and were 10 mins early of his expected time of 4 hours. Great ski route as it starts high from Arolla already, and can be skiied late in season. Eating Ice cream with the filthy rich on Lac Leman by 14:00. Cheapest Movenpick ice cream in CH, Bruce insists. | |

| Part of the haute route from Chamonix to Zermatt, when the weather is good enough you get to bag some pretty big summits allong the way. | |
