#SOTA summit № 680/1000 today: Saashörner-Südgipfel 3039 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/VS-261). Nice climbing/scrambling on the south ridge (II+); mostly good rock. The summit book has completely disintegrated because the plastic container was broken. But a report on the web from 2016 (where the book was still readable) suggests that there were only three entries in 25 years...

#SOTA summit № 645/1000: Aiguille de la Tsa 3667 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/VS-070). This is the summit with the smallest activation zone in HB, and it's not hard to see why 😄
Ascent via the west ridge of Dent de Tsalion, descent via the glacier and Col de la Tsa.

#SOTA summit № 634/1000 today: Balmhorn 3690 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/VS-066). Ascent via the spectacular “Gitzigrat” SE ridge, descent via the “Zackengrat” SW ridge (normal route). As the climbing with my friend was the main priority, I only worked 2m this time. And just as I was wondering why there were no S2S callers on a Saturday with such perfect weather, I remembered that this weekend is #HamRadio2025 🤦‍♂️😂

#SOTA summit № 641/1000 today: Spitzberg 2934 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/UR-071) with @navigium. After two attempts back in 2022, we succeeded in traversing it today. Lots of climbing over big boulders, and some interesting ridge sections.
This was also my 1000th SOTA activation, and exactly 10 years ago today I did my first one. Next project: 1000 unique summits in Switzerland (which is what I'm counting at the beginning of my posts) 😇
