Mr_Sworld-
Weisshorn is one hell of a mountain! Utterly stunning.
We've had another few astonishing days. We crossed the Gornergletscher and Grenzglescher to visit the Monte Rosa Hut which is slap bang in the middle of the Monte Rosa massif. More scenery that could make you weep. Something we've planned to do for five years...we could not have imagined how stunning it is. There and back in ten hours but we really paid for it the next day.
Had a really nice via ferrata day today too.
Off early to hike up to the Rothornhutte, haven't decided on what we will do when we get there. Not too many options within our capabilities.
Feels that bit by bit we're starting to learn the various alpinist skills and start to put them together. We're still rookies but we're no longer the greenest tourists on the mountain. The sensation of progress is so rewarding.

God no, I'm nowhere near fit enough yet. Need maybe another year to get to the point I can consider it. Starting to think about it regularly enough that I might pencil it in at some point. Not sure though, it's a bit busy.
Just got back from the best day we ever had in the mountains. 1800m up and down, mostly hiking but a smattering of climbing for spells during the last 100m of up and down. Huge 1000 vertical meter PB for both of us, nearly forty minutes shaved off our previous best. One of those days when the scenery makes you want to weep.
Quick shower and off to smash a pizza.
