Congratulations again...

...on completing this fine route, and in fairly murky looking weather towards the end - and noted you had above zero temperatures upper part of the face, which can't have been too comfortable what with reduced security and stonefall etc. I've now enjoyed seeing all of your series - thanks for sharing them. And I look forward to seeing your photos from our later expedition - and using some in forthcoming TR...
best wishes, Mark

Re: Congratulations again...

Lack of traction in the soft snow as well as the occasional stone falling down were our main problems. The clouds only interfered a little as we climbed the uppermost part of the mountain. At one point it seemed as if we would go into the clouds, but mostly we were under them and lack of visibility was no problem at all.

Alas, as we reached the Brunegghorn summit, Weisshorn was hidden by clouds, for I reckon that it would have been a great view. Instead the background is the other way, with Barrhorn on the left.
