Etterjobbtur. Måtte traske i en del gjørme før jeg kom meg et stykke opp fjellet, men ble belønnet med flott kveldslys på toppen :)

En fin morgentur mens jeg var på en kjapp helgetur til Storbritannia for å flykte fra gråværet i Tromsø. Massevis av gode turstier, sommervær og mange glade mennesker (og sauer) i fjellet. Herlig!

Hoppet på flyet kl.06.30 fra Tromsø til Oslo, sprang til neste fly fra Oslo til Manchester, hentet en leiebil derfra og kjørte nordover mot Windermere om ettermiddagen. Og så var det bare å komme meg ut på en liten ettermiddagstur for å få litt lufting :)

Tok meg en siste luftetur før reisen tilbake til Geneve. Fulgte skilting fra Evolene og flott sti helt opp til Col de Torrent. Litt under 2,5t opp og 1,5t ned fordelt over 1550hm.

Alphubel (Rotgrat)

Alpine trip
Duration:
10:30h

Alphubel isn’t one of the most attractive mountains in the Mischabel group (in my opinion) being quite big and rounded. The complete opposite of the Dent du Geant which we’d climbed a few days earlier! Nevertheless its long west ridge (Rotgrat) is one of its redeeming qualities and is described in good detail in Martin Moran’s guidebook for the alpine 4000m peaks. I was looking forward to ending the week with a decent long summit day (1550m from the Täsch hut), so this did to some degree fulfill some of what I’d hoped for. It would also be quite fun to revisit Alphubel, which was actually the first ever 4000m peak I’d ascended 15 years ago when I was 18 just after finishing school. That time we’d done the easy snow plod up the southeast ridge but I don’t remember that the weather had been >>>

Lagginhorn South Ridge

Characteristic:
Alpine trip
Duration:
7:30h

First route of a two-week trip with Linda who I’d met up with a few days earlier and our Finnish guide Sami who was working for Frost Guiding based in Evolene. The weather forecast wasn’t all that promising for the majority of the week but Monday was supposed to be fairly good with sunny weather. After some discussions about what we’d already done and what sort of routes we wanted to do, we decided to start with the south ridge of the Lagginhorn, a long AD ridge route which was now in good, dry condition after several days of warm and sunny weather. It seemed like a good objective since Linda had done a lot of fairly hard rock climbing in the US but never done any short-roping before on easier grade routes in the Alps. We planned to drive over to Saas Grund on Sunday morning and take >>>

Cabane des Aiguilles Rouges

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
3:00h

Gikk en tur til Cabane des Aiguille Rouges på formiddagen for å få litt lufting. Tok bussen fra Evolene til La Gouille og fulgte stien som gikk først mot Lac Bleu og så videre til hytta. Det ble en veldig varm tur opp! Men heldigvis skyet det til og temperaturen var noe behageligere da jeg gikk ned på den slakere stien som sluttet i Arolla.
