Fantastic!

And reminiscent of one of my all-time favourite mountain photos by Brad Washburn. http://www.mopa.org/neaobject/after-storm-climbers-doldenhorn-switzerland

Congratulations on...

..climbing this beautiful mountain, but also getting POTW with this photo. It looks just as good as it did to me just over a year ago - when I took a photo of my son, stood about where the rocks are in your photo! What else did you climb - and are you going to write up a TR? best wishes, Mark

Re: Congratulations on...

Thanks Mark! I remember that photo very well. That one and many other great shots of the summit ridge made me put Castor high on my wishlist. We climbed many 4000m peaks that week. We did a roundtour starting with Breithorn, Pollux and Castor and ending with Parrotspitze, Signalkuppe & Zumsteinspitze (and the peaks in between). I will put up a TR when I find some time... Cheers! Lodewijk

Re: Congratulations on...

What a great trip you had - definitely worth a TR! Did the 'peaks in between' include Lyskamm?

Re: Congratulations on...

No, sadly not, only "il naso del lyskamm"
Cheers!
