Considering that I currently am learning seriously, I'm quite often in the mountains. Short term, I was cajoled me so still on the lead tour to Allalinhorn go along, so I could think in peace about whether I want to make a filling training.
So Martin started, and I Ansgar at noon on Thursday Mattmarksee direction, where we bivouacked for the night. The rest of the group drove off a little later and so met with Andi, Jens, Jörg, Monica, Peter, Stephen, Susan Ursel and later in the evening even to us.
The next morning it was only then rise again to the Britannia Hut. Up with such a large group everyone has everything, from shoes to hat, but it takes quite a while, so it
was half ten as we finally could get away. Meanwhile, the sun was already relatively high and of course grilled us mercilessly on our way up. The path leads through fields on a steeper step towards cabin. After we had brought 
this steeper section behind us, there was first a pleasant lunch by the stream. Not too long, as swell in the south is covered with clouds. We went on the moraine and along until we reached the snow field in front of the hut. Now it was not more widely and as soon we reached our destination where Ulf, who led the tour with Martin and Ansgar waited already upon us. Here then followed the usual swing-school program - killing time, whether to sleep, play board games or the mountain, the "small Allalinhorn" . Climb All found a way to get by for dinner. Then it was not long until we were all asleep, the alarm clock to 3 was 45 and the sky was overcast.
When the alarm rang, it really shone the stars, an hour later when we went was going on, these are shown but not much.
The first few yards it went downhill through gravel and soon we had to rope up to the piece of glacier to overcome to Hohlaubgrat. Overnight, it was not properly dressed and so was the firn soft enough to go without iron staircase. As the ridge we arrived at shortly after six and it slowly brightened, we were in the east hair dryer, in the south clouds . Watch Half an hour later, after the first piece 
were hopping through the rocks, we made again a decent break to watch the weather. Really good it did not look, it was difficult to make a prediction. So first we went on until we had the piece of rock behind us and reached the ice ridge. Once there it was in the east and south on thick clouds, but really closer they came to us and not now shining blue sky. So we put on the crampons and trudged on. Up here you can also work around the ridge above the glacier, so that now, other groups joined us. The following piece was relatively easy until we approached the pre-peak, in the flank, it was a little icy. All rose to the point entirely fantastic, so we came closer and closer to the rock stage. At this level, when we got there at half past nine, more than ten people and it jammed up on awful. So could we stood ... and stood ... and stood at some point the groups before us had done it, so that Martin Vorst own. crowded Shortly thereafter, a father with his son past us to the stage to go a bit further to the right. The son was really unsure of it on the iron and had not even a pimple. Earlier, they crossed with the son was going on a fist-sized stone. Andi had to dodge the stone so as not to get him. Sorry I stood behind him and before I knew it was his crampons on my thigh. After an initial shock, but it hurt a little, but I did not feel that it was bad.
And we overcame one by the rock stage. This lasted of course still very much in the length, but at eleven clock we all could reach the summit. Due to a lack Jörg, this was down from the hut again have as its sole broke away from the shoe. Too bad - but next time it works out with new designed mountain boots.
The summit was packed with people who had come up through the normal route. Nevertheless, we are acting for a photo at the summit cross. Then it was
for us normal route, but the descent was on this route without any problems and it began to happen to the ski area. Here, Martin and I decided to descend, the rest took the train.
It was probably first try without having to pay to come down, but at the middle station was closing and the train had yet to be paid. The money we saved ourselves. But we had a piece of the glacier before we came on a nice trail
on alpine pastures and pine forests, down to Saas Fee. There we met us all back to pizza and pasta at the tour due to end.
After most of We were mentally in the mighty clouds in the morning was already on the way down, we had a wonderful day, wonderful weather and a fantastic group together and fit the Allalinhorn honest, from the valley, ascended. Just a round thing!
