Finsteraarhorn
- Dato:
- 11.07.2021
- Turtype:
- Alpintur
- Turlengde:
- 7:15t
- Distanse:
- 10,5km
After having been up the Gross Grünhorn & Grunegghorn and walking over to the Finsteraarhorn hut the previous day, the plan was to climb the Finsteraarhorn via the upper southeast ridge (also referred to as the Sudroute in Martin Moran’s guidebook) as it would hopefully provide a more interesting route to the summit compared with the standard route from the Finsteraarhorn hut via the southwest flank and northwest ridge. However, since the entire southeast ridge was still looking very snowy when we checked it out from the summit of the Gross Grunhorn, we ended up changing our plans to do the standard route instead. Moreover, it seemed like there were going to be very few teams doing the normal route anyway, so there wasn’t much chance of it being too busy. Meteoblue had forecasted some early morning fog so I was expecting >>>

I haven’t spent much time exploring the Bernese Oberland previously, and the only two peaks I’ve climbed there before now – the Eiger and Schreckhorn sit more on the outskirts of the region rather than in the central part of the area. I’d always imagined my next visit to the Bernese Oberland would be on a pair of skis, having heard so much about how big the glaciers are and with rather large distances between the huts and 4000m peaks. Summer 2021 had other plans for me, with each sunny weather window being followed by a new big dump of snow in the mountains, which rendered a lot of steep snow routes avalanche-prone and the usually-dry ridges plastered in snow. However, a new weather window had appeared in the forecast and this time it looked like there might even be 3 full days of sunshine, which >>>
Bishorn East ridge

After having come back from Lyskamm, there looked like there might be a possibility of a new weather window on the tuesday the following week, but it wasn’t going to be a very long weather window, with more bad weather arriving already in the afternoon, ruling out any long and committing routes. After much pondering, checking of weather forecasts and consultations with Martin Moran’s 4000m guidebook I arrived at the conclusion that the East ridge of the Bishorn might be a suitable objective, since it would provide a more interesting line of ascent than the standard easy trudge up from the Tracuit hut, and the descent down the Turtmann glacier would be straightforward and quick(ish) though quite long. I ran the suggestion past Graham and we ended up settling on this as a plan and booked >>>
Lyskamm traverse

I first came to know about the traverse of Lyskamm during a trip to the Alps in July 2003. The original itinerary for the week had been to climb Castor, Pollux, Lyskamm and the Dufourspitze via the Margherita hut and Zumsteinspitze. In the end the traverse of Lyskamm never happened because the guide I was then climbing with decided it was too windy that day, and we ended up ascending Il Naso (the Nose of Lyskamm) and Vincent Pyramid instead. In hindsight I don’t think I had sufficient alpine mountaineering experience to do the traverse, which is basically a 2km narrow and exposed snow ridge so it was perhaps just a well that we didn’t do it that day. However, since then it has been high on my wishlist of routes to do in the Alps but for some reason or another there has never been the right >>>
Castor

Did a short ascent of Castor en route to the Quintino Sella hut, with the main plan being to traverse Lyskamm the next day. Didn't get fully fog-free views from the top, but still nice to re-visit this peak again after 18 years since my first time!
Piz Bernina - Biancograt

After a week spent in Zermatt doing various acclimatization hikes, I relocated to the Chemin des Etoiles, a chalet in Evolene which has been (and probably will continue to be!) my annual summer holiday base for the last five years. Anyway, it was great to be back in familiar surroundings again, though the chalet was pretty quiet this week with only 4 of us staying there. I’d been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for several 4000m-peaks I had on my wishlist for this summer, but it looked like the best weather would be further east in Switzerland for the start of this week. I’d not been up Piz Bernina, and the Biancograt was one of the routes I’d wanted to do for a number of years, so it seemed like a good option to start with. Did a quick check with Graham, the guide who I’d be >>>

Siste dag med akklimatisering i Zermatt. Kokvarmt på fjellet i dag!

Jeg var på langhelg i Lofoten sammen med Innika der vi bodde i en fin leilighet i Svolvær. Musklene var fremdeles ømme etter fredagens første (bratt) fottur av sommeren som bestod av to runder på Festvågtinden, men dagens mål var å gjennomføre minst 3 runder på Kleppstadheia mens Innika kjørte på med langløp. Det var nydelig varmt vær hele dagen, stien var stort sett snøfri og det endte opp med 3,5 runder på meg. Siste halvrunden gikk jeg i lag med Innika. Vi begge var storfornøyde!
Stormoa
- Dato:

- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 4:19t
- Distanse:
- 5,3km
På andre og siste dag på Senja ble Stormoa valgt som turmål, siden vi hadde lyst til å gå en litt brattere tur og gjerne med en fin egg med bra snøforhold til isøks og stegjern. Innika hadde hatt en DNF på Stormoa i fjor etter et forsøk i slutten av skisesongen, mens jeg hadde aldri vært på denne toppen om vinteren. Den var også en kort kjøretur fra Skaland og noe vi kunne ta på turen hjem til Tromsø, så det passet perfekt. Det ble nok en tidlig start på oss denne søndagen også og vi kjørte fra Skaland litt før 8.30. Føles alltid ganske tungt å komme seg ut før det begynner å bli lys, men sånn er det med mørketidsturer. Vi parkerte i en parkeringsplass på vestenden av Skalandtunnelen, rett nedenfor Krokelvtinden. Her tok vi brodder på skoen og gjorde oss klar til >>>

Siden det fine kalde været så ut til å fortsette en god stund fremover, fikk jeg veldig lyst til å dra til Senja for å utnytte muligheten til å gå fjellturer med isøks og stegjern. Jeg regnet med at dersom det var snøfattig på Kvaløya, da ville det helt sikkert være enda mer snøfattig på Senja. Da ble et hus på Skaland bestilt litt spontant og jeg fikk med meg Innika også. Fant ut i etterkant at hun hadde ofret muligheten til å være med i mørketidsløpet for å bli med på helgeturen :-) Vi kjørte rundt nordenden av Senja for å få litt inntrykk av snødekket i området. Det så ihvertfall ut til å være snø på Keipen og Grytetippen som jeg var gira på, så det var lovende for lørdagen. Det ble en litt tidlig avgang fra Skaland siden jeg ville begynne turen i 9-tiden, >>>
