The day after summiting Dom we descended from the Domhutte (2936m) to Randa (1400m), and on the same day fully loaded the huge backpack and walked up to the Taschhutte (2700m) from Tasch (1400m). Starting the next day at 4 am, we summited Alphubel by the SE ridge (PD+) with some fun snow climb on the steep snow slope below the summit plateau (4206m). Returned by the easy normal route and all the way down to Tasch (1400m). This concludes my 14 days of almost non-stop ascents to 13 peaks (10 UIAA 4000ers) with 150km of total distance walked/climbed and +14,000 elevation gain. What a great trip I had! Miss the Alps already...
