The long-overdue sequel to Greenhorn Tour Report ...  |

... and while my stomach during the day on it was still wondering whether he likes the breakfast had the others already saddled and we were in the dark soon the debris field, which is played down in the guide as "a bit cumbersome" intentionally. In general I think the guide literature was written only to Green horns like to stay away. There, what is a "short climb to the saddle (3020m), here is the whole slope strewn with rocks, the way it is always hard to see and even steeper. Gisbert probably thought the same thing and surprised us with his decision to descend again to the hut. I personally (and I mean this seriously for a change) My eyes nearly popped out of such ownership. While many over-estimate and target group and felt compelled to go, he realized that today was just not good at it and decided in time: Respect! Perhaps he also had only the information advantage that there was already waiting before the princess promised?

to So four of us continued to rise and soon reached the start of the "short" some with fixed ropes and poles Gratkletterei insured in the II-III. Degrees. Still, we were even good at the time, but that should change, for "short" is a relative term. Already posted in the first part view on the trinity and many other mountains was very impressive and gave rise to extensive photo stops (apropos: Who will find the right person in the picture). Jürgen could impress us by every single corner appointed and I have the serious suspicion that he has learned by heart beforehand specifically for the tour. Unfortunately I could not keep my name and now has to glue photos Sun We climbed further to soon the sometimes very airy ridge and reached far more than the time allotted to the driver at last the summit.

| Gspaltenhorn (3436m) |
The
Gspaltenhorn (3436m) is a very impressive mountain and a real insider tip that was selected outstanding: Isolated and not crowded, he has one of the highest and most demanding North faces of the Alps (1700m), which the Eiger North Face is more than equal in height and difficulty, and an excellent view, in short: A real mountain jewel, and as Geocaching yes the show is almost as little noticed features created for
. If only the stones were not many, which one can easily take each other on the head. The magnificent view to look deep into the north wall, we enjoyed the best weather might be too long, just like the Gratkletterei also on the way back somehow not shortened. And so we came back just in time for dinner at the hut, where we spoke out with "Pleasure Tour". Well, the economy was indeed already used the previous day.

| Aletsch |
After descending into the valley and the trip to Fiesch finally a night worthy of the name also: We stayed at the hotel, cable car middle station and were the only camp guests. The hot showers were after our two and a half days, a real mountain experience. But I had made the foresight to not use it, I knew that it is the next day on the
Aletsch and its sometimes quite impressive columns formations go to the Concordia hut (2850m), and there I would probably return as Ölsardine between the others are: without a shower you have clearly more space!

| Konkordiaplatz from the hut |
on the glacier then were contrary to my initial fears (almost) good to see all the columns and the rise of so easily. The huge Konkordiaplatz and the many special features on the glacier (several moraines, of course
glacier tables, drains, caves, ice mountains and even a bit old), lasting impression. But the weather began to make us worry. It was rainy and from noon the next day was bad weather predicted According to host so we will inevitably be fast for a good tour. Dawned on us that we would probably leave tomorrow to enjoy part in the hut.
To be continued ...
