Grand Capucin: the Swiss Route with an O Sole Mio finish
A classic combination on the Grand Capucin — superb granite above the Vallée Blanche.
Bloody Old Men: first up this year
A long route on the Rotspitze, fully bolted but with plenty of loose rock — and a descent that wouldn't end.
A Sunday outing on the Alpspitze north face
Six pitches to round off the long day on the Tajakopf. It didn't need to be more than that.
Drachentanz: 23 pitches, 12 hours car to car
A long day on the Tajakopf with Papa. The crux comes right at the start, with cold fingers and a heavy pack.
Rittlerkante, just Hannes and me
A good route on the Bauernpredigtstuhl. The crux bit back, the rest went fine — and we rappelled the line.
