Big plan

I always said Canton Berne would be one of the most challenging ones, well looks like I'll soon find it out... honestly stocked and suuuuper scared of the hours coming. Lets hope the weather forecast sticks and Monday I'll be on my way to the Finsteraarhorn. I already packed my backpack so here my pack list: Bike: Mountaineering Clothing: Salomon S-LAB X Alp carbon shoes and 2 pairs of socks Salomon S-LAB X Alp GTX pants

Ticino 2.0

Adula 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

At least we had the view

We 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
