holiday - at last! Whole two weeks we had to climb mountains and wanted to spend it in the Valais. In early September we can all things really do not expect more with two weeks of stable weather. For the start, therefore, we planned the first time to exceed the Mies Weiss.
On Saturday we went so the road to Saas-Almagell then to Almagellerhorn hut ascend. Besides Ansa and I was still here Ann. Frank had become ill shortly before and unfortunately could not come. After the car was parked and the backpacks were shouldered, ready to start. After such a long time the heavy backpack once again on the shoulders have been getting used to. And with the pathfinding, we had apparently not quite made friends. In any case we missed the exit for Alma Geller hut and landed instead on the trail. "Only for slip-resistant" We believed that we belong and it was the first time over a set of iron steps and suspension bridges. An incredible adventure, this adventure path.
Eventually we found yet the right way and it
went without major incident to the hut. There we reported to us, we had also reserved. We slept in the mixed-Abel view - the winter room. For dinner we were at in the second layer 19h. Slowly dawned on us that we would probably not alone on Weissmies. The alarm clock rang and with at least 50 others we made our way towards Zwischbergenpass. Since we were even a mediocre fit and does not height adjust, it bothered us exceptionally less idiots too comfortable behind. In
Zwischbergenpass went beautifully the sun and after a brief contact with a field of snow we could strive for in our caravan over the ridge towards the summit. Did you go almost reached the height of the summit, even for short and not difficult to snow over the top. As the caravan had been pulled apart very, we enjoyed the summit even relatively undisturbed. From the other side of a mountain but a cold wind was blowing, and so we went quickly on the descent. This was further down, in contrast to the trail, actually quite adventurous. The columns were but then at some point so great that was placed over a column of a ladder. That was actually even a new experience. On the one or two huge column over we finally got Hohsaas direction. The descent to the hut was then Weissmies not really fun but fortunately quite quickly over. This hut was then far from being fully booked and so much more comfortable this evening. Also against the dinner we had nothing. After all, it was only the first meatloaf and canned fruit - but by no means the last for the next week. The next morning we went
by 5 Clock off. We wanted Lagginhorn again. On the climb we were on the whole ridge on the descent then the wretched remains of the glacier Lagginhorn - still with columns. Besides we were only Two other men on this climb the road version. It is first up on the moraine. After that crosses over the ridge must be over roadless terrain before making traces back to the path on the ridge. Ansa felt the previous day in the bones and decided to turn back. The weather was not really great, the clouds hung low and in the meantime it was snowing slightly. Particular it was Ann and I were alone, until we met the others through the normal route from Lagginhorn glacier. Soon we disappeared slowly into the
clouds and it got nasty. We went over stones until the first little snow fields appeared. Here we moved the crampons again and came out without problems, but pretty cold, frozen to the summit. A quick picture of us, that would really top of each can be recorded, and then quickly back down. The descent was fast and easy. To find out about the rest of the glacier and we were back at the hut. Together with Ansa we made our way back to the car. The Weissmies overrun was a very beautiful and varied tour. Lagginhorn the other hand, you can have once made, but then once is enough.
