With the Matterhorn so close by, the Ober Gabelhorn (4063m) is probably a bit underappreciated, so perfect for a bit of Mountain-Monday-spotlighting.

Some snaps from this week's "Arista del Campanitas" scramble.

Feeling inspired, I'm drafting a blog titled "Treading the Fine Line Between Scrambling and Rock Climbing" — exploring that gloriously confusing grey zone where our discipline labels overlap.

First image traces the approximate route; the rest capture the kind of scenery that makes you forget your legs are burning.

What a day yesterday. Lasting memories of that one for sure. Las Campanitas ridge to Veleta. A complex, dramatic route done without fuss or drama. Here's one with Linda at the summit of Salón 3325m with other members of our group scrambling up the right hand ridge

2/2
We started the second day with a good breakfast at the hut and departed at 5:30. It was already so warm I just wore a T-Shirt. We followed the path through the snowfields we had set the day before. At the start of the glacier we mounted the crampons and put on the ropes. There is still enough snow on the glacier so the risk of falling into a crevasse is tiny.
The last ascend up to the summit is quite steep. We decided to climb up with a short rope. After a short break we descended westward a steep rock face which is secured with metal chains, before reaching the lower parts of the west facing glacier. From there we slid down various snow fields and reached the Klausenpass in the early afternoon. There we switched our long trousers with short ones and refilled our energies with cake, fries, cider and coffee before heading back home with the Postauto
