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

๐๐ปโโ๏ธ TIL: ๐๐๏ธ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to รtziโs hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officerโs patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

What an adventure ๐ค
We as #AlpSoil_Lab from #EuracResearch set up our highest pitfall traps yet at high #alpine sites at 3300m and 3100m.
These #GLORIA sites are quite steep and challenging to reach, but I can't wait to see the #soilfauna living up there ๐#SoilScience #SoilBiodiversity #Alps #EuropeanAlps #SoilBiology #SouthTyrol #Italy #TexelGroup #Mountains #Mountaineering
