I climbed the Zumsteinspitze from Rif.Gnifetti in 3,5 hours, the weather was ok until 11 am, and then withhold clouds. We also climbed Signalkuppe the same day.

Really nice view!
Climbed up right from Col Gnifetti.
Nothing much challenging, but the view from the top makes it worth your every step. Great panorama.
A part of our trip around Monte Rosa's plateau.
Climbed in perfect weather with Igi.

Route Climbed: From Margherita Hut
Gabi, Sev and I left M. Hut at 6am... very windy, so a bit scary in the ridge up to the virgin. Then back down thorugh the Glacier de Grenz to Zermatt where we arrived at around 2pm. Beautiful views of Cervino and Lyskamm all the route.

Traverse from Dufourspitze
From Dufourspitze - a few tricky bits to the top, but what nice views from there!
Route Climbed: From Capanna Margherita Date Climbed: 27.08.2005
I climbed the Zumstein in 30 minutes from Capanna Margherita. The weather was very nice and the view too. From the summit we went to Rotenboden, close to the Gornergrat.
Route Climbed: Normal from Monte Rosa Htt. Date Climbed: 28 July 2005
Solo trough Grenzgletscher to the summit by normal route with back pack full of food and bivack equipement. I met 2 Italians on the top, they did it from Dufour Sp. Cold wind at that day, strong sun. The rocky part is worth your every step, I found it very atractive.
