Another search picture. Somewhere in this picture a mountain hut is hidden. Let me know if you found it without checking on the second picture. Hint: it is the highest situated hut at a stunning 4554 meters!! Needless to say with that it is also the highest mountain hut in the Alps.

Mountain panorama with Castor and Pollux in full splendor. On the same picture also two mountain huts are located (there is also a bivouac, but I was not able to find it). The Refugio Mezzalama CAI is situated at 3004 meters and the larger Rifugio Guide d'Ayas is at 3420 meters. The second picture is the same, but with the huts circled.

We knew it should be beautiful, but this really surpasses our expectations. View from hotel room, stunning to wake up with.

The panorama shows the Walliser Breithorn (the highest point not visible, which is slightly to the left) and the "twins" Castor and Pollux.

Castor was our goal in 2005, but the night before the summit attempt there was a 50cm snow dump and our guides gently let us know we would not be up to the physical challenge of making a "Spur". As a substitute we climbed the Breithorn instead.

A mountain ridge with snow. The summit is "split" (this is where the name is coming from).

Just starting to excited about heading back to Patagonia. Only 3 weeks to go until we head out and get back to scenes such as this from 2014 on the western side of the Cerro Torre massif. Better start making a packing list pronto.

With my parents and their friends to Planplatten. Just the perfect day. Not hiking up for a change, just easy cable car riding and sitting on benches sucking up the views 🥰

Dad asked what the highest mountain was I climbed (Nadelhorn, 4327 m). Searched for a picture showing him the mountain as I felt it. This was the best I could find (climbed it from the left ridge). Just another world up there.

Cool day on Veleta yesterday!

Took the classic Paco Pepe route (4+) but decided to spice things up. After 1st 4 pitches, traversed R along the narrow & exposed Paso de Lagarto to the Variante Silvia (5) for 2 spectacular & sustained finishing pitches

Needed help from the rope at top of the crux which verges on 5+ for few meters. Thankfully Felipe there to assist. Will come back & try to climb 100% next summer. Training on arm strength is required!
