22 Jul 2015If you are scared of something go out and face it. You might loose big time but you might as well win, and when you win you are an happier and stronger person... That is exactly how I feel right now, before leaving for Finsteraarhorn I was stoked, but also very very scared of what was to come. Now just after swimming in the Aare 60h after leaving I know that if I wouldn't have
After 5220m um and 172km today at 13.00 we arrived at the top of finsteraarhorn. Now it's too hot and going back would be dangerous. So we ll go to the finsteraarhutte and tomo eraly I get on going back ! Stoked
27 Jun 2015Adula was the first summit I did, back on September 1st 2013. Back then my project didn't Exist yet. I was just trying to go from the lowest point to the highest in my natal canton. Then half year later in canton Glarus on the top of Tödi I decided many things. Among others I decided to go for all cantons. Fast forward to today. What the heck am I doing in Tenero (the lowest
23 Jun 2015The plan was big, very big, but once again the conditions and weather said no. So instead of tackling the Finsteraarhorn we changed destination to its neighboring canton of Jura. Originally planed as a Reggae summit (probably around 7h), the the Mont Raimeux can actually be reached by a very long ridge that requires climbing and scrambling. Obviously we opted for this variant adding around 5h of fun to the trip. But let's start from the
10 Jun 2015Well, some days are now passed after the first big attempt to a big big summit. Pity it didn't work but I'm happy of how well it went. I managed to be faster than the schedule on the whole bike part and arrived up to 2900m being tired but still alive which is great. I'm confident that if we didn't have to carry the ski for the whole way we would have been at the
6 Jun 2015We all have to take decision but sometimes we don't like the decision that we have to take. This night I had to take such one. The glacier from Furi all the way to the Monte Rosa hut had absollutely no snow cover and we had to carry our ski all the way. This delayed us by over 2.5h. We arrived to the hut around 4.20. We were still 7h from the summit. I needed
5 Jun 2015I just ordered a pizza in Zermatt... stoked
18 May 2015One of the advantages of being self-employed is that you can trade a Sunday for a Monday if the Sundays weather doesn't seem nice. That is exactly what I did... But since I'm talking about weather let me give you some background information first. Thursday Eliane and I went ski-touring in Zermatt to get some acclimatization for Saturday's project. I wanted to give a shot at a very big summit, the canton Valais. But, and
10 May 2015Coool the premature beer didn't spoil anything :) afrer 94Km, 1300m+ and around 7.5h including some of the long brakes I can officially say that I'm at 13 summits :) who would have sayed that it would take so long for Basel stadt
10 May 2015I know I know don't sell the bear's fur before you caught it. But it was too nice to not stop and celebrate... after all I did (just 3 flat km missing) 3 summits this weekend
