#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 🤦♂️😂
