Once again...  Sucess!

Once again, normal route. Nice day and always a fine mountain to be at and enjoy the views. I only wonder when the swiss are going to open the 'summit bar'... ;-)

Hohlaubgrat  Sucess!

Snow conditions and slow parties we (Jck (Jacek), Lukasz, Grzesiek and I) met on the 35m high rocky barrier made this ascent rather tiering - melted snow mixed climbing. Descended by the same route. We slept in the tents below Britannia Hut.

Hohlaubgrat  Sucess!

Nice and rather short route to the summit. We (Radek ( brade ), Lukasz, Grzegorz and me) slept in tents just below Britannia Hutte. Started little bit too late and the rocky barrier below the summit was in rather bad snow conditions. Descended by the same route to our tents.

First and the last time in Britannia Hutte...

In memory of Dorota and Jan Andrulonis: a Polish couple who died on Allalinhorn the day before our climb.

Normal route  Sucess!

Good for acclimatisation - climbed late and bivi'd at the feekopf. Great to be back in the Alps

NW Ridge  Sucess!

My wife and I climbed this while vacationing in Saas Fee. This was her first glacier climb and first 4000m peak and she did great. We had glorious weather all day long and both felt in good shape for the climb. This is a really popular mountain and we ran into all sorts of people on the ascent. It is still a sweet climb though, the summit is quite precarious for such a broad mountain and the views of the Pennine Alps are might fine.

Clear day but windy. Easy snow hike. Crowded.

By foot in the winter  Sucess!

Due to bad weather we changed our plans to climb Weißmies and ran up Allalinhorn on the normal route by foot (because my partner had not been into ski-mountaineering).
Fast one-day 4000m ascent even it took some energy to "walk" through deep snow by foot in the winter.

Route Climbed: Normal route  Sucess!

Again here. It is a nice way to acclimatise before heading to Strahlhorn. Started from the Britannia Hütte early in the morning. This time the weather was great.

Nice wander  Sucess!

Strolled up with my brother James from Alpinmetro to acclimatise. Cloudy on top, but still hot in sunshine and lots of snow around.

First 4000er, Hohlaubgrat  Sucess!

Hohlaubgrat was very nice and easy, just before the summit a bit of easy mixed climbing. Decended via the normal route onto the biggest summer ski aera of Switserland, what a waste!

Route Climbed: Northface  Sucess!

After one try on the Hohlaubgrat and 3 plans of climbing the route we did the north face. An easy, but beautiful climb. Not very difficult. The weather turned from beautifull to cloudy.

Great view!  Sucess!

Started from Mittelallalin at a day with perfect weather! What a great view to Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Weissmies group and Bernese Alps! First 4000 m peak for my wife!

Easy but rewarding  Sucess!

Short, easy, all right... but a four-thousander nevertheless. Your lungs say so when you are up there. Ideal for newcomers to high altitude. I enjoyed it, that's for sure. We came up via Mittelallalin and Feejoch.
