"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... " — Christos • Aug 16, 2019

"The same day I went down to the valley (1400m) from the Bordierhutte (2900m), I went up to the Domhutte (2936m). Waited for a day for the weather to get better and then summited the 3rd highest mountain in the Alps with my friend Franko." — Christos • Aug 14, 2019

"On an attempt to solo climb the Nadelgrat (AD, III), I was stopped by a vertical rappel at the Chli Dirruhorn. After an attempt to avoid the rappel to the right, I decided to downclimb the ridge as it was getting late... Despite plenty of loose rock, the scramble up the ridge was fun with insane exposure at some points." — Christos • Aug 11, 2019

"Day 7: after doing Ludwigshohe and Parrotspitze in the dark, we summited Signalkuppe and Zumsteinspitze. We tried to walk on the knife-edge snow ridge towards the Dufourspitze but the snow was unstable so we retreated to the Gorner glacier rushing all the way down to the Monte Rosa hut. Then after a very long walk with routefinding on glacier and morraine with ups and downs we finally made it to Zermatt after a total of 20 hours of walking..." — Christos • Aug 9, 2019

"You can easily climb the Daubenhorn from the top go the Gemmi Pass via the normal route which is a T3 hike involving a small glacier crossing and a short scramble at the top. However by far the most exciting and rewarding route is via the Via Ferrata or the Daubenhorn Klettersteig (in German). It is a very difficult Klettersteig and demands endurance as well as experience and of course proper Via Ferrata equipment. You can reach the start from the top of the Gemmi by descending a bit or you can walk up from Leukerbad. It is well marked. Allow 8 hours for the whole route including the descent down the normal route of the Daubenhorn. Watch the weather carefully as well. We had great weather and took the whole day over it with lots of photo stops and a picnic on the top. We took the Gemmi lift and walked down to the traverse out under the face. It was spectacular the whole way and in September not too busy. The first section leads up to the top of the Swiss flag which you can see from far below in Leukerbad. This is a good picnic and rest spot and from here the proper vertical via ferrata climbing starts. There is an opt out route here which leads back down to the valley as well ..." — chrispatient • Sep 15, 2018
