After the ski season is really over now, it's time to go full speed. This Ansgar and Martin had to get the great idea of the Nollen on the monk. After I had made on Aletschhorn so weak, I was I am very unsure if I should go with. But it sounded simply too good and the weather was, the closer the weekend, even better. So
collected Ansgar Martin and me on Thursday evening in Karlsruhe and we drove to Interlaken. There we wanted to stay outside in a parking lot and then the next morning to climb comfortably Guggihütte. Unfortunately, with not much sleep outside, it really poured. So we put the seats and slept
n the car. The next morning it was raining then no longer, but as the weather was not really great. After we had traveled by train from Grindelwald to the Eiger glacier station, it went on Moraines and debris to Guggihütte. Here we had the whole cottage for us. It is only sometimes a warden at the weekend but as usual in Switzerland, fully equipped.
On Saturday there was an early start, with two clock rang the alarm. In the evening the fog had cleared and were getting up to us to see no clouds, just below us. In the beginning there was again an hour on gravel and rocky steps to the top before we could finally create the crampons. Initially comfortable flat, it was getting steeper the closer we got the Nollen. Martin, with the most experience 
in the ice, then was allowed to preside own. Being particularly the crossing, with rather brittle ice was a little ugly. But overall, we were making great and had the actual Nollen after 1.5 hours behind us. After that first will once again flatter to the southwest before it gets steeper again. So Martin could again come on and lead climbing, while the clouds moved further and further inside. After we had the bergschrund behind us, this was a very nice piece. The calves are still made slow and started to tweak on. On top of the ridge, we met four other climbers in the Southwest
stgrat went, we saw it but otherwise, nothing really. First we went unangeseilt on until no more really clear was where it was long, where the cornices, and whether or not it could be fissures. Soon we were knocking on the summit as quickly as possible and wanted to back down, whistled, it was cold and you could see anything anyway. So it went on the normal route back down, and we of the Nothing that looked right and left, well 300hm, in addition to our 50cm wide track, of course, nothing was hidden. We were able to trudge all over the Southeast ridge without wobbles before it was the rib, through rocky times, sometimes through snow down the glacier. Only a few meters between hikers who came from the Jungfraujoch over and we actually depends almost and we were at the cottage. Unfortunately we had to Later at dinner find that this is simply not SAC hut.
For the next day, there were a number of ideas for tours, which were shaken after the report was already strong. The option was to go to the Virgin there, but also rejected as at 3 in high winds.
When I got up at half past 6, the virgin hung in thick clouds, but I had the chance to experience a breathtaking sunrise. After the two men were also at some point had peeled out of bed and breakfast in our belly was, we shuffled over to the Jungfraujoch and plunged into the masses of Japan on the way to the "Top of Europe". For us, it went back up to the Eiger glacier station. To the day not to be entirely wasted, we were still on the Eiger Trail to Grindelwald. Überequipt something, but we had to stand well. Nevertheless, we admired, of course, "The Wall" and discussed where the Heckmair route was really long. We were "only" been on the monk, but still very proud of our tour. For up to the point of view on the summit was finally run their best. A really good start to my second real high season tour.
