20.7.2006 (Solo)
I started from the Mönchjochshytte
early in the morning over the Ewigschneefeld
to the direction of Hinter Fiescherhorn (4025
m.). My plan was to climb it by it's snow slopes
and then continue back to my starting point
by traversing over the Gross Fiescherhorn (4049
m.). Having started very fast and being so close
to Gross Grünhorn (4044 m.) tempted me
to climb it's ridge (D) to the summit which
I reached just 3,5 hrs after my start. I then
descended to the Klein Grunhornlucke from where
I started climbing the easy rock ridge to the
summit of Hinter Fiescherhorn. From the summit
I descended to the saddle in between the two
Fiescherhorns and looked for a place to get
over the schrund which had gaped quite a bit
at this time of the summer. I had to continue
quite a bit by the foot of the mountain to find
a safe place to cross so when climbed over the
schrund I took a direct line up the face to
reach the ridge close to the summit. I followed
the other climber's tracks down to the glacier
and headed back to the hut which I reached 10,5
hrs after the start. I can tell You, Weissbier,
bratwurst and rösti has never tasted so
good!
