Hi,
I'm going hiking solo this summerand I was wordering how high up I could go. I'd be wearing crampons if necessary but I'd like to skip all other equipment such as ice axe, slings, ropes, carabiners etc.
I'm very fit and I really like long strenous walks but I'd like to avoid stuff like steep sections, crevasses and rockfalls altogether, esp. since I'm soloing (I crossed the Gouter colouir a couple of years back and got hit by a stone during heavy rockfall and promised myself never to do such a thing again intentionally).
I've been hearing about peaks like Lagginhorn, Allalinhorn, Breithorn, Weissmies and Gran Paradiso but from what I've understood all of these still have some crevasses or steep sections where roping up is commonly advised. Is that correct?
Looking at the slightly smaller peaks, they seem a lot safer and easier but I don't know enough about the individual peaks and so I'm asking you all for advice. The only one I know is Gran Pilastro and it seems to be a F or grade I. I guess this peak is more suitable than the 4000m peaks I listed above(?)
