Breithorn

Date:
08.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h

Etter en latterlig varm fredag var jeg klar for en liten tur igjen. Varmen gjør meg raskt sliten og denne lørdagen skulle bli like varm som fredagen så det var kjekt å starte litt tidlig. Rocio skulle tilbringe helgen i Chamonix da de neste par dagene hadde fått en dårlig værmelding så planen var å vente til etter helgen og ta en prat om hvor vi skulle dra på siste turen da. Fikk høre med Boris og Ed siden de skulle overnatte på samme hotellet i Zermatt som meg og fant ut at de hadde planlagt å gå en liten morgentur til Breithorn. Spurte om jeg kunne bli med og heldigvis svarte de med ja, så plutselig så lørdagen min ikke så kjedelig ut. Vi tok frokost kl.7 og gikk opp til heisen like etter kl.7.30 for å kunne rekke den første som skulle opp til Klein Matterhorn kl.8. Føltes >>>

Matterhorn

Alpine trip
Duration:
8:30h

Having come down from the Eiger we now needed a new objective since the updated weather forecast seemed to be pretty promising for the next couple of days. Rocio had mentioned she had thought about doing a traverse of the Matterhorn, starting in Italy and finishing on the Swiss side but as a result of the hot temperatures this summer the Italian side of the mountain was recently closed because of rockfall risk. Fortunately the Hörnli ridge on the Swiss side was not. I have to admit that despite knowing about this famous Toblerone mountain since before I was even a teenager it has never been on my to-do list. I’ve heard a lot about how popular the ascent of the mountain is from the Hörnli ridge so anyone wanting to climb it must be able to move more or less continuously from start to finish >>>

Punta de la Pierre

Date:

Characteristic:
Randonnée/Telemark
Duration:
5:00h

Da var det min siste hel dag på ferie i Chamonix og for å utnytte den ble jeg med på en tur med Rob og tre andre som hadde meldt seg på turen – John, James og Adam. Jeg hadde uansett ikke noen turkompiser å dra på tur med og var ikke kjent med turmuligheter i området, så å være med på en guidede dagstur virket som en naturlig og enkel løsning. Nok en gang var det snøvær i Chamonix men det så ut til å bli mye finere vær på andre siden av den Mont Blanc tunnelen i Aostadalen. Skredfaren var en 3-er der i dag mens det var fortsatt på nivå 4 i Chamonix. Planen var derfor å gå opp Pointe de la Pierre fra ei liten bygd som heter Ozein, på ca. 1400m. Turen går mye i slakt terreng på nord/nordvestsiden av fjellet, så det skulle være et trygt valg med god tørrsnø her. Det >>>

Gran Paradiso North Face

Characteristic:
Alpine trip

Summer in Norway has been superb and I never intended to travel abroad to indulge in mountain trips at all this year. It was only after some more recent climbing and scrambling-style trips that I suddenly realised how much I missed alpine-style trips and ended up dreaming of heading to some higher mountains again. Since I was feeling a bit rusty on climbing and ropework in general and was lacking friends to go to the Alps on a semi-spontaneous trip with, the obvious solution seemed to be to join a guided course. I was not entirely convinced it would be worth it since I had only heard talk about the weather being awful in the Alps all summer, but in the end I decided to take the chance anyway, I couldn’t imagine it would be worse than being out during a mild winter spell in Scotland could >>>

Nose of Lyskamm/Piramide Vincent

Date:
22.07.2003

Second day of the Monte Rosa traverse. Started from the Quintino Sella hut. Didn't go over Liskamm for some reason or another (either snow conditions or too much wind, I forget now). Finished at the Gnifetti Hut.

Castor

Alpine trip

Some very old pictures from a trip with the late guide Brede Arkless and Frances. Took the cable car up to the Klein Matterhorn station from Zermatt and went up Castor. Finished at the Quintino Sella hut. Not many memories of that hut, only that the coffee was awful (it tasted terrible at 3am anyway, maybe would have appreciated it more later in the day) and the hut breakfasts were not much better either.
