Fog on the top!

Satuday the weather ws sunny and warm. Wonderfull snow from the top down to Gressoney. But unfortunalty when we left the Gnifetti Hut at 6 AM of Sunday 5th April was snowing and foggy.
In 1:30 we reached the Lysjoch and then.....we wait a while but we were not lucky. The fog turned even thicker.
Then we skied down all the way till gressoney.

Normal route from Mantova Hut thru Piramide Vincent  Sucess!

Gabi, Sev and I left Mantova Hut at 7am. Wind and sun. We reached summit of Piramide Vincent where we took a short rest and then we continued towards Margherita Hut which we reached at 1pm. All in all a beautiful climb and traverse. We slept in the hut fighting the headache with aspirines and water.
