Last 22th of June John Harlin III start his Swiss border trip. Except this first sentence, all followings informations are from swissinfo.ch.

"John Harlin III, the star of the smash IMAX movie “The Alps”, is back in Switzerland for another epic adventure. This one could make climbing the Eiger look easy. “About 2,000km,” he says, a map of the country splayed out before him. “But when you consider all the up and down, it’s probably going be more.”



The challenges are huge. Up and over icy 4,000m peaks, down the burbling Rhine and along the gentle crest of the Jura many weeks later, Harlin will climb, row and sweat his way counterclockwise back to where it all begins on Tuesday – St Gingolph in canton Valais.

But the hardest part of all? Leaving his wife and 14-year-old daughter behind for so long.
“They gave me this,” he says, opening a small waterproof can. Inside are dozens of little notes. “Each one is numbered for each week I’ll be gone.” He can’t wait and opens the first one early. It says exactly what a father and husband wants to hear."

Cool at the moment. Serious things will come in the next days, from col de Balme to Dolent,as an "aperitif" for next big step: col du Grand Saint Bernard to col de Theodule crossing Grand Combin, Dent d'Herens and Cervin. Thanks for posting John's web site, Cy

Sounds fun.
