Following the brilliant first week of climbing, we had two easy days down in the valley back in Evolene which I mainly used for eating, drinking and sleeping plenty while also making plans for the second week. I’d earlier hoped that the Taschhorn-Dom traverse could be an option, but after having found out from the Swiss AlpineClub website that the Mischabel bivouac hut was closed for the season, it was obvious that this idea was not realistic – at least not this summer unfortunately. Having spent the week over in the Zermatt and Saas valleys, which I felt pretty familiar with now, I thought it would be quite nice to have a change of scenery and climb some other 4000ers in other regions of the Alps I hadn’t spent much time in. I was also quite keen to climb a “cool” mountain and so >>>

The northern Nadelgrat is made up of the Nadelhorn, Stecknadelhorn, Hohberghorn and Dirruhorn, the latter three which I had not yet climbed but of those three, only 2 are deemed to be principal 4000m peaks. Anyway, it was a traverse I’d had on my list to do and after numerous consultations with Martin Moran’s 4000m guidebook I had got the impression that the normal way to do it was from north to south, by ascending a couloir on the east side of the Dirrujoch between the Dirruhorn and Hohberghorn first and then continuing along the ridge southwards and descending the normal route on the Nadelhorn back to the Mischabel hut as a round trip. It turned out Tim had other ideas, which meant doing it as a one way traverse and ending up in the picturesque town of Grächen above the Zermatt valley >>>

After arriving back in Zermatt from the Zinalrothorn , we checked the weather forecasts again to make sure it would still be good weather for the next objectives we had planned to do. Originally the plan had been to head up to the Ayas hut, then traverse both Castor and Lyskamm the following day, spend the night up at the Margherita hut and then do both Nordend and the Dufourspitze on the thursday which was supposed to have the best weather and would have made a nice 3-day outing. Castor and Dufourspitze I had climbed previously, but not Lyskamm or Nordend, so they were still on the "to-do" list. However, since the forecast for the next 2 days were looking less optimal for a big day on exposed snow ridges, we moved onto my backup plan which was to do the Breithorn half traverse, a quick half day >>>

The Zinalrothorn is a pretty cool looking peak, though I personally think its a bit dependent on which angle you see it from. Definitely awesome when viewed from the Ober Gabelhorn though :-) Like last year, I had 10 (fun) days of climbing with British mountain guide Tim Neill to look forward to and the Zinalrothorn seemed like a good option to start off with since neither of us were really well acclimatized to 4000m yet. I was a bit worried that I would have de-acclimatised after a few days of easy hiking in the Saas valley and not really going above 3300m, so it was probably good to be starting with a peak which didn’t have a massive summit day although the walk-in to the Rothorn hut was relatively long. Since I’d expected there to be reduced capacity at the alpine huts this summer, I made a booking >>>

Det utrolig fine juniværet fortsatte og forsatte..... men etter noen fine og avslappede dager på fotturer fikk jeg kjenne på lysten til å gå på ski igjen. Nå føltes det på tide med å avslutte topptursesongen for godt. Jeg hadde ikke vært særlig mye på tur i Lyngen denne sesongen til tross for at det hadde blitt en 8-måneders lang skisesong så jeg var ganske gira på å få til en ordentlig Lyngentur. Da falt valget naturlig på sommerski-klassikeren Store Kjostinden. Og her hadde jeg vært flere ganger før, men aldri så seint på året. Turkompiser Tim og Sofie var like ivrige som meg så vi avtalte å gå en tur der i lag denne søndagen.
Til tross for noen lave tåkeskyer som lå over Breivikeidet var det derimot klart og varmt vær på andre siden av Ullsfjorden. Det var >>>

En fin lørdag ettermiddag ble tilbrakt på tur med Johanna og hunden Kimmi. Det var overraskende tørt opp til tregrensen (der det vanligvis pleier å være gjørmete tidlig på sommeren) men litt våtere underlag fra ca. 400moh pga snøsmelting. Nok en gang var vi alene på hele fjellet og det var artig å jogge ned på fast sløsj i bolla. Fremdeles mye snø på bakken for å være nesten juli!
