I will be in Europe this spring/summer (mid June to mid July), ostensibly to get married, but also to have a kick-ass honeymoon/climbing roadtrip around Europe. I've been trying to do some research on routes in the alps, but as the title of the post says, I am lazy. In addition, I've been trying to plan a wedding in Europe from California, so I've been a bit busy...
A little about us: We have experience climbing alpine rock in the Sierra Nevada (California) up to about 5.9-5.10 YDS, as well as glacier travel experience and general outdoor savvy...We move pretty fast together and have a decent weather eye between us.
what we're looking for: long, moderate, classic routes. We know we might be a little early in the season, but we're looking for some first hand info from people who know both European and Sierra routes so we can gauge our preparedness. Ideally, we'd like to do the Zmutt ridge on the Matterhorn and spend some time around Mont Blanc.
I would very much appreciate any and all suggestions for climbing areas and/or routes.
cheers,
-Mike
