Back home and just about recovered from yesterday’s effort on the Eiger. It was a great finale to eight days climbing with Sarah and we ticked off a whole bunch of good climbs including the Petit Verte, Perrons traverse, east ridge of Monte Viso, the Index and the traverse of the Monch. The weathe...Summit of the #Eiger this morning with Sarah.
Good conditions on the south ridge from the Monchjoch Hut, and we had the top to ourselves. Being patient with the weather paid off in the end. ☀️
Lots of teams on the other nearby classics: Monch, Jungfrau, Fisherhorn etc

Eiger plans on hold for 24 hours. Waiting for the snow to burn off a bit. Instead we traversed the Monch, via a verglas encrusted SW ridge.
Now resting before tomorrow’s early start for the Eiger south ridge.

Our #MontBlanc team were successful on the Grand Paradiso yesterday. Currently on route back to Chamonix.

We've added Monte Viso to our route index. The Matterhorn without the crowds!

Monte Viso towers above the Quintino Sella hut, far bigger and impressive than the gentle surroundings would suggest. At 3841m Monte Viso is actually pretty high in terms of attitude, and a little prior acclimatisation would probably be useful.Climbing the Index with Sarah this morning. A nice mellow day after an especially long day on Monte Viso’s east ridge a couple of days ago.
Pretty busy on the route today, we did about a million short pitches for practice and to give the other teams some room.
A rest day tomorrow, and then the Eiger 👍🏔
