Ober Gabelhorn

The weather was pretty wet on the Monday after we’d done the Gastlosen traverse, so we had ended up doing two short climbs at Bramois just outside of Sion and then going to the nearest cafe to plan the remainder of the week. Basically the weather was going to still be a little damp on Tuesday but both Wednesday and Thursday were looking good with a fairly high degree of certainty on meteoblue.com. The logical thing to do (in my mind at least) was to go to a hut where we could do two days of climbing and make the most of the good weather days, and the Rothorn hut seemed like the perfect solution since it gives access to both the Ober Gabelhorn and Zinalrothorn, two beautiful (and pointy) 4000m peaks which I have wanted to climb for much too long! The north face of the Ober Gabelhorn is a particularly >>>
Jegihorn

For the final day of the week climbing with Tim we left Evolene at 7.30am and headed over to Saas Grund to do a quick climb up the Jegihorn. Well, actually the intention was never to make it a quick climb, but that's how it turned out anyway. After driving through thick valley fog for most of the way we were still optimistic that the weather would be much better up high (assuming the webcam at Hohsaas we had checked was not from a previous sunny day!) and after getting off at Kreuzboden (ca. 2400m) we were met by somewhat better visibility and the odd glimpse of blue sky. In any case it was a very pleasant temperature to walk to the base of the climbing routes in. I think we used around an hour to do the approach walk (about 500m elevation gain) in a relaxed pace.
Once we arrived at the foot >>>
Grand Combin

The Grand Combin ended up being the major summit of the week climbing with Tim and we were also joined by Janine and aspirant mountain guide Jack. It was nice to have another female for company, although when the other female has previously been on the British skimo racing team it made me a bit nervous about the pace we’d be hiking up to the Valsorey hut in ;) We left Evolene at around 9am on the wednesday and stopped at Martigny to pick up Jack before continuing the journey up to Bourg St. Bernard where the trail to the hut starts. With about 1200m of height gain it’s regarded as one of the "longer" hut walks and fortunately that means it also ends up being quieter. There was only a group of three female hikers and another couple other than us staying at the hut that evening. >>>
Pointe de Tsalion

For the past 5 years I have tended to spend my annual summer holiday in the Alps climbing with a guide and in keeping with tradition I did the same this year with Evolene as the main base for 2 weeks. I’d been paired up with David for the first half of the week and British mountain guide Tim Neill. David’s climbing CV was probably at least 5 times longer than mine so it was going to prove a challenge to decide on climbing objectives to do which he hadn’t already done! With somewhat unstable weather forecasted for the week we ended up making the most of the good weather for our first day and headed off to Arolla at 6am to do a day trip up Pointe de Tsalion and climb the route Voie de la Cabane (D-), which basically follows a not-so-prominent spine that goes up the west side of the mountain. >>>

Fin avslutning på en 2.5 dagers workshop i Innsbruck. Gikk fra Villa Blanka etter konferanselunsjen og fulgte stien forbi Alpenzoo og opp mot Hungerburg. Her går det mange ulike turstier oppover, så det er bare å velge den som frister mest :) Brukte 2t 50m opp med alle pauser inkludert og så ble det litt jogging ned mot sentrum igjen og tilbake til hotellet. Angrer på at jeg tok med meg laptopen helt opp og ned fra fjellet (ikke helt nødvendig med laptop når man skal lufte seg....) men jeg gadd ikke å gå tilbake til hotellet først.

De siste to dagene på tur i Alpene skulle opprinnelig blitt tilbrakt på en bestigning av Dom, det høyeste fjell som ligger helt i Sveits. Pga for mye snø under Domhytta ble planen byttet ut med en bestigning av Dufourspitze i stedet, men til slutt ble det Plan C siden værmeldinga for denne delen av Alpene var langt dårligere enn for Chamonixområdet. Så den nye planen var å sove i Chamonix, ta heisen opp til Helbronnerstasjonen på den italienske siden av Mont Blanc og så finne på noe i området rundt Torinohytta. Etter flere netter med søvnmangel gledet jeg meg til å sove lenge (endelig?) etter å ha kommet tilbake fra Saas Fee og forhåpentligvis føler meg i bedre form på siste turen. Rob hentet meg rundt kl.8 og vi kjørte til Courmayeur via Mont Blanc-tunnelen. Det tok ikke >>>

Rimpfischhorn er en topp som jeg fikk øye på for første gang i 2002. Da var det min aller første gang i Alpene og jeg var på tur til Strahlhorn fra Britanniahytta. Jeg synes fjellet så veldig kult ut med sin bratte østvegg sett fra denne siden. Helt siden da har jeg hatt lyst til å bestige det og nå hadde tiden endelig kommet for å få det til. Som en bonus var det også en 4000m-topp som jeg ikke hadde vært på enda og jeg har blitt stadig mer interessert i å samle på disse toppene ila de siste årene….
Etter turen til Mont Buet kjørte vi videre fra Frankrike til Sveits, spiste lunsj i nærheten av Martigny og så fortsatte turen opp til Saas Fee. Vi visste at Felskinnheisen skulle gå 16.30 og den var den eneste som gikk i dag så det var viktig å rekke den – ellers ville >>>

Dagens plan var å ta en tur opp Mont Buet på vei til Saas Fee, men dette krevde tidlig start pga at mye av turen går i sørøstvendt heng og dette varmes opp av sola ganske raskt. Så jeg stilte vekkeklokka slik at den skulle vekke meg kl03.15 siden Rob (guiden) ville plukke meg opp fra gjestehuset i Chamonix kl04.15. Turen starter fra Le Buet, omtrent en halvtimes kjøretur fra Chamonix men det ble nærmere kl5 før vi var klare for å begynne turen. Første delen av turen var en lett spasertur i joggesko, men vi måtte bære skiene og skisko på sekken da. Det var litt merkelig å gå i mørket igjen, særlig siden det har vært lyst på natta i Tromsø i godt over en måned nå, men på måte ganske koselig også! Stien er for øvrig veldig fin og slak så det var en behagelig måte å >>>
Alphubel (Rotgrat)

Alphubel isn’t one of the most attractive mountains in the Mischabel group (in my opinion) being quite big and rounded. The complete opposite of the Dent du Geant which we’d climbed a few days earlier! Nevertheless its long west ridge (Rotgrat) is one of its redeeming qualities and is described in good detail in Martin Moran’s guidebook for the alpine 4000m peaks. I was looking forward to ending the week with a decent long summit day (1550m from the Täsch hut), so this did to some degree fulfill some of what I’d hoped for. It would also be quite fun to revisit Alphubel, which was actually the first ever 4000m peak I’d ascended 15 years ago when I was 18 just after finishing school. That time we’d done the easy snow plod up the southeast ridge but I don’t remember that the weather had been >>>

It’s name pretty much gives the game away. The Dent du Geant/Giant’s Tooth/Dente del Gigante according to one guidebook ”…has bags of exposure and has one of the best and pointiest summits in the Alps”. Definitely a great selling point. Sami had originally suggested climbing this at the weekend, but our trip over to the Torino hut got somewhat postponed because of the dump of new snow at the end of the previous week. But finally we were making our way up to the Torino hut after driving a few hours from Champex-Lac to Courmayeur and I was feeling rather psyched up for the following day’s objective. We arrived in Courmayeur with reasonably good time to catch the Helbronner lift before the last departure and it was around 5pm by the time we’d been ferried all the way up to the Helbronner >>>
