Sunday. Zig-zagging up through the forest from Saas Fee, with the Mischabel range through the trees
The Mittaghorn, our target
Part-way up the final steep slog
Chamois - a good excuse for a rest!
The summit (3143m)
The Alphubel, Taschhorn, and Dom
Mattmark Reservior and towards the Monte Moro pass
Saastal, with Saas Fee highest up on the left, and the Bernese Oberland in the distance
Sunday evening: a pink sky over Camping Mischabel
Monday: climbing on the slabs on the Kappellenweg, just above the campsite
Bethan practising abseiling past a knot
Crevasse rescue practice!
Interlude: a few days in Zurich. View of the city from the hill behind Triemli
Saturday, back in the Valais: ascent of the Seetalhorn from Huttegen
Fletschhorn, Lagginhorn and Weissmies from Rote Biel
Balfrin
Roger on the summit (3037m)
Once a geologist, always a geologist...
Sunday: during a storm-enforced rest day, we constructed a shelter so as to drink tea and play silly games more sociably
We 'played' table tennis when the rain stopped momentarily - and carried on when it restarted!
Monday: more wet-weather activities
Tuesday: via ferrata on the Jegihorn. Weissmies in the background
Unfortunately, a slow group of about 30 people had the same idea...
The wire bridge
The lower Saastal
Alex on the bridge
...and on the cargo net
The final, easy section!
Jegihorn summit (3206m)
