Hello, did anyone active here climbed the usual easier peaks in Cordilerra Blanca in the last days and can tell something about the current glacier situation (steepness, large crevasses, bridges etc.) on Ishinca, Pisco, Yannapaccha, Chopiqalqui?

Thanks a lot!

Are these available in Norway? Or something similar?

I would like to ask a question about hiking the Via Spluga. I cannot seem to find any information about hiking the area from Chiavenna to Thusis.

Are there alot of dangerous crevasses in the morgenhorn glacier?

Hi there,

Aiming for Elbrus next September (I have the first two weeks off). I was wondering how likely there will be significant delay or other issues getting Russian visas for US citizens? I am dual (Swiss as well) but would rather not have to get a Swiss passport unless it will be necessary to get the visa.

Anyone with relevant knowledge or educated guesses who would like to share their thoughts would be greatly ...

Hi there,

I'm planning on attempting the GR11 traverse of the pyrenees from the Spanish side this summer (approx start dates: 15-30 of June). The plan is to take my dog with me as my furry adventure partner. We go on multiple hikes on a weekly basis and have done various overnights. She can also carry her own food and water. So far I've planned to camp pretty much every night.

My question is: has ...
