Mont Viso 3841m

After some heavy snowfall last week we had to find an alternative tour to Matterhorn this week. Mont Viso 3841m, is a mountain in the southern alps wich I've been wanting to visit for some time. It stands alone with the Ítalian flat to the east and the lower range of Queyras to the west. The east ridge 1000m, AD, was a really nice classic.

Mont Viso (Visible) with the east ridge clearly visible as the left skyline.

Mixed climbing lately

Lots of different mountaineering and climbing lately. Monterosa massif, Mont Blanc and Ceuze have been some of the visited sites. Had a great summit push on Mont Blanc last week from the lift of aguille du midi in the morning. Did Three 4000 mt peaks from the Gniffetti hut with Wolfgang and clients. Also went down to Ceuze to do some sport climbing with friends. Today we are leaving for Mont viso, 3831m, in the south of Italy. Another new mountain that's been on the list for a while... ciao.
