Herlig morgen for å lufte seg før jobb. Kjørte fra byen kl06.55 og var klar for å begynne turen ca kl.07.30. Gikk i rolig tempo opp og nøt både den fine utsikten og varm granitt på hendene :) Burde kommet meg ut på Blåmann før jobb litt oftere, kan anbefales på det sterkeste!

Flott søndagstur med Innika og hennes turkompiser Eli og Alex. Fikk dessverre noen skyer rundt toppen så det ble ikke helt den fantastiske utsikt som vi skulle fått, men været var fint og det var for det meste insektfritt :) Håper på minst en tur til her før slutten av sommer/høst....

Fin lørsdagstur i varmt vær. Stien i Vargedalen var ganske OK, men i starten gikk den rett opp skogen som jeg synes var litt bratt. Etter hvert ble det mer steinur og dårligere merking mtp det var en Ti på Topp tur, men utsikten var flott og det var egentlig ikke noe å klage på. Returnerte via Musnestinden men utsikten var omtrent det samme her. Kommer kanskje tilbake om høsten for å gå en ny runde med Lavangstinden inkludert også..

Endelig var motivasjonen for å gå i motbakke igjen tilbake. Null utsikt på toppen, men det var kjempegodt å få luftet en tung kropp! :)

Weisshorn

Date:

Characteristic:
Alpine climbing
Duration:
9:54h
Distance:
8.2km

The Weisshorn has been on my list of peaks I’ve wanted to climb for a while, mainly because it’s big, requires a bit of effort to reach and beautiful. It stands out from its neighbouring peaks and is hard to miss from any angle. And to quote the late Martin Moran in his 4000m peaks guidebook, “The lofty pyramid of the Weisshorn is considered to be the finest of all the Alpine peaks by many connoisseurs who disdain the public glories of the Matterhorn and who ignore the greater quality and variety of climbs on Mont Blanc”. I guess this is not too bad a description of my attitude… Anyway, with a reputation such as this it would be hard to not want to climb it at some point :) Due to the weather forecast for Friday having been changed to somewhat less stable weather, it seemed like the >>>

Lenzspitze - Nadelhorn traverse

Date:
23.07.2019
Characteristic:
Alpine climbing
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
5.8km

With a pretty good looking weather forecast for the week after we’d come down from the Dent d’Herens there didn’t seem to be any reason to stop ticking off some good quality 4000m peak ridge traverses. So after having taking a rest day in Evolene the next plan on my «wishlist» was to climb the east-northeast ridge of the Lenzspitze and continue the traverse to the Nadelhorn, returning down its easy northeast ridge. Tim had done the northeast face of the Lenzspitze before and the traverse to the Nadelhorn but not the east-northeast ridge so he was psyched for giving it a go (generally he’s psyched for most things regardless of whether he’s done it before or not though)! We left Evolene again relatively early for the drive over to Saas Fee and parked up just outside the town. The >>>

Dent d'Hérens

Characteristic:
Alpine climbing
Duration:
8:35h
Distance:
21.0km

After returning to Courmayeur from the Torino hut the plan was to stay somewhere in Italy for the night so we could head straight to the Dent d’Herens the following day. We’d initially planned to book some beds at the Prarayer refuge which is about 1 hour along the walk in to the Aosta refuge, but we instead opted to go all the way back to Evolene since most people were away at huts so the chalet would be empty and quiet!! It turned out to be a good choice, at least for me since I woke up the next day feeling very well rested and ready for the 3-hour drive back into Italy and up to the Lago di Place Moulin where the long walk in began. It was another warm and sunny day, in contrast to the clouds that meteoblue had forecasted, so I was somewhat dreading having to do a long walk up to the >>>
