What an epic view 🤩

This was an amazing moment I was able to enjoy this morning. The tour didn't go as planned so there was plenty of time to watch the capricorns all over the place around this beautiful scenery.

Watching glaciers makes me a bit sad as they're really in bad condition and I am hoping for a strong winter ahead. 🥶❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

The great Snowdon queue-skipping row – is it really OK to jump the line if you’re not taking a selfie?
By Guardian Staff

The crowds at the top of Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales, are now so huge that seasoned hikers and climbers are simply walking past them. Is everyone just making a mountain out of a molehill?

We departed at 6:15. Myself as the guide, my son and a friend of mine. The friend of mine was never on a glacier before and is not used to scrambling so I planned with plenty of spare time. I defined 11am for the latest return point.
We were slow but well within the predefined time frame. The glacier is almost snow free with several crevascres, however it's an easy glacier, mostly almost flat. The final scrambling up to the summit I just did with my son, my friend decided to wait for us as he didn't feel confident enough to do the final scrambling. So we just spent a few minutes at the summit enjoying the views.
Back at the hut we refilled and descended back to Curaglia.

All in all a little bit more than 800m ascend and almost 2000m descent.

Back home at 22:20 - exhausted but happy.

Seit 1992 galten zwei belgische Wanderer nach einer Tour im Wallis als vermisst. Nun sind auf dem Triftgletscher bei Saas-Grund menschliche Überreste entdeckt worden. Die formelle Identifikation läuft noch.

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

何とか張ることができたテント場からは南東方向が開けており、日付が変わる頃からは天の川が出現してきました。
