Hello everyone. I've been wanting to have a go at the Grandes Jorasses for some time but I can only break away in August. this year. Will the standard routes be in any shape that time of year? If it is as warm as the last two summers, I am not optimistic. I appreciate any feedback SP members can provide. Thanks!

Hello,

I was just wondering if someone has done Bishorn (4153m) in May?

It is a climbing season in spring but for randonee. I was thinking in doing it without skies.

Simular mountain and experience are welcome to answer!

Cheers,
Johan

PS. Might add that Alalinhorn worked fine without randonee in May

I saw there are Yugoslavian users but no Yugoslavian mountains. Anyone willing to contribute?

Does anybody know what kind of conditions that you can expect in hiking to the top of Mt. Roy in August? Is there a lot of snow? My fiancee and I are honeymooning in New Zealand around that time, and we were thinking of checking out the Wanaka area. I am mostly a hiker, and I have only a slight amount of snow climbing experience. Thanks.

I'm looking for a great tramping experience in New Zealand during the second week of March. I have about 4 or 5 days time to do it and would love to see some gorgeous fjords, scenery etc. Does anyone have any routes they would suggest? Is anyone interested in going? If not, do you know a good tramping outfit over there?
Thanks!

Hi all,

I've just returned from a fantastic holiday in NZ, and added a new New Zealand mountain: <a href="http://www.summitpost.org/mountains/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/6317">Roys Peak</a>! It's not a spectacularly icy glaciated peak, as I was only on a tramping holiday and not climbing. But it is a very nice panorama peak perfect for a quick and easy, but rewarding day-hike. Feel free to have a look and tell me what you think.

In the next few weeks I'll add ...

Hi

I'm looking for a partner to climb Mt Aspiring's NW ridge or something similar sometime between Feb 14 and Feb 22.

Drop me a line if you're interested.
