Eiger traverse

After spending a night at the Cosmiques hut, Rocio and I discussed a few of our options in Chamonix. Rocio was keen to get some AD/D graded ridge climbs done and first on the list of possibilities was the Eiger since the heat wave in Europe this summer had now made the Mittellegi ridge in reasonable condition. I had of course done minimal research on the Eiger beforehand but I came here really to just do some decent climbing so if Rocio thought it was worth doing then I was more than happy to go along with it! It looked like Monday was going to be a decent weather day for summiting any peak so ideally we needed to be doing the walk in to a hut the next day.

La Berneuse

Walk
Duration:
2:30h

Tok en spasertur til La Berneuse i morges. Bra oppvarming til den kommende uken. Det er fullt mulig å ta heisen dersom det ønskes, men det går mange diverse stier (av høykvalitet) opp dit fra Leysin sentrum. Dette må sies: det er godt å nyte slike stier etter å ha blitt vant til å lete etter 'en slags sti' i Nord Norge de siste tre årene! Fin utsikt over hele dalen, mot øst og sør. Fikk ikke se mange topper i Valaisalpene på grunn av tåke/bygeskyer, men det var fin stemning likevel. På turen ned tok jeg en litt lengre variant tilbake til byen. Det finnes skilt over alt, så det er bare å følge dem som frister!
