Solo ski ascent from Zermatt  Sucess!

A solo ski ascent from Zermatt and my first Swiss 4000'er. Had to walk a long way with ski's and full gear because more snow had melted then I had excpected. Had full camping gear with me and made a bivouac at around 3100m. Next day I summited and had a lovely time skiing down.

Breithorn   Sucess!

First peak I climbed in Europe. Very quick fun climb. The pounding headache after arriving back in Zermatt was some what expected because I didn't do any acclimatization hikes before hand. Nothing a few Advil's couldn't fix.

from Klein Matterhorn SW ridge,descent via SE narrow ridge  Sucess!

very easy climb,good when you are not sure about weather for all day.We chose it to check snow conditions after snowfalls.SE ridge in Breithorn Centrale direction is very narrow and atractive.

Normal route   Sucess!

My first 4000 m summit. Ideal snow and weather conditions, so the route was a little bit crowded, but the view from the top made us to forget about it!

Half Traverse  Sucess!

Thank god they sell crampons at the cable car station. My partner Dave had left his down in the valley! The traverse was great, however, final ridge to the summit was exposed and scary in the cross winds. Good day out.

Breithorn Mittelgipfel/Central  Sucess!

Did the haf traverse from the east via three rock towers. Nice and dry rock but quite a lot of snow on ridges which made it more "intresting". My first +4000m peak!

Started at 06.00 from Theodulhütte, no major difficulties, a long walk up, a lot of people on the route which was probably the difficulty nr 1.
