If you go on a spring ski tour, because summer is only from 21 June, of course, so you have to expect that you carry his skis from time to time a piece has. It started on Friday evening and a short night under the stars on the Fafleralp. Erik Ansgar, Jochem and I were so on by 3 clock, shouldered our skis and were on our way towards Beichpass. The first hour we were wearing the ski where we were guided by Erik soggy meadows to the snow gully. Then we could finally put on your skis. But only for a short while, since soon again have to cross a gravel strip, before it is first to ski them irrevocably continued. The condition of the skis on their feet, "have but did not last forever, and so were the last 200hm before the pass will be placed back to back foot. Up here it was relatively new snow and on the other side of the sun had softened the top layer is also all right. Nevertheless, we were able to drive in the sunshine some really wonderful turns. Until we were faced with an edge, on the one hand, scree, on the other boards. According to the map it should go down to the point of the scree field. If enough snow is certainly not a problem, so we had to again take the skis on his back. Here was yet to get pretty ugly when we were down we saw then, that would have been yet further to the right through a snow shelter. Tough luck!
Now it went up a notch over the relatively flat Beichgletscher, you had to really push but not until it merges with the Upper Aletsch Glacier. Here it was called then finally to the ski bag. The Upper Aletsch glacier in this area was already over with debris when covered with snow, so we just went to the other side. It was really hot and we were all very thirsty, but no drink more. Far as it was now but not really. We had only the ladder to 150hm Oberaletschhütte up torture and torment was it really. When you unpack the backpack Erik declining to later that he would have had another pint of tea. We settled into the cozy winter room and could we leave later, even with Rivella go well, because the landlord just happened one night upwards.
The next morning start for 3 clock, which we einhielten was also good to come again Aletschhorn. I went here but somehow not really good and I was extremely slow, so I just turned around on it. The others went on and later had a beautiful view with fantastic weather. Back they came all broken and tired, while I slept a lot and wasted time the day before the cottage was. Was such a beautiful day!
Since we were now not yet planned, on Aletsch means bivouac but continue on the Oberaletschhütte we had to get out looking for a tour for tomorrow. Go Back it should be given back to the Beichpass. but it rained all night and when the alarm clock rang at 2, we turned us around until another 
times. Morning was clear then that the option on the Beichpass to go back out was. There is still relatively new snow was there, it steepens up properly and the snow was now totally soaked, it would simply have been too dangerous to take this route. The only option remained was the ski once again strap on the backpack and initially to run on the Upper Aletsch glacier and then move to the lush green meadows to Belalp. With cable, bus and train then we came back to Fafleralp.
Maybe yes but already summer!
