Trus Madi, Malaysian Borneo

Hi everyone

I am heading out to walk up the legendary Mount Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo in the near future. While I'm there, I want to also bag Trus Madi.

Gear Advice Needed (Swiss Alps)

Hi friends:

Headed on an alpine climbing trip in Mid-Sept. in the Saas-Fee area with two partners. I have two specific questions.

Alps June-July 2019

My son and I are headed for the Alps.

We will be flying into Milan Italy on 19 June and out Hamburg on 4 July, so it will be a pretty short trip (Americans have short holidays!).

We'll climb on our own part of the time, but may want guide for some climbs; unless we can find another partner or two.

Some areas we might want to visit are the areas around the Triglav, Dolomites, ...
