What would you guys do?
On the one hand, I know weather is usually better in Wallis.
But on the other hand the Schreckhorn and other peaks seem amazing!

Step in and shoot the breeze :).

I climbed the Monch yesterday in fine weather, but the forecast for this weekend through Tuesday is bad

If weather and conditions (snow) allow, you'd love the Mittellegi Ridge on the Eiger!

Thanks for the replies! We ended up going to Wallis, snuck up the Matterhorn despite some fresh snow. Mitelligi ridge would have been awesome though, and it's on the "dream list!"

Nice! I was in Bergell some weeks ago but 'bagged' no biggies... ostpfeiler on palu was out of condition as were some climbs on rock (Badile nordkante)... still had a good time though.

You already did the Cassin, you can just have some pie and look up at the face now! (earned it :)).

Well it was rösti mit spiegeleier at Sciora hut :lol: Badile is still very impressive, but so is the whole 'arena' around Sciora.

BTW: which route did you do on Matterhorn and can we expect a tr?

Cheers!
