Winter Breithorn summit. Fuck me that was tough.
People dismiss it as an easy hike but I'm going to say that they've never climbed it when wind has blown all of the snow off the normal route leaving 100m tracts of 40 degree blue glacier ice. And even if they have, 40% less bioavailable oxygen is no joke. It was also very cold.
Maybe it's different in the summer I guess. 10/10 day out.
